Edinburgh at Christmas

Hi all,
I am looking at travelling somewhere magical for the Christmas season.
Does anyone have any thoughts on Edinburgh around this time - mid/late December?

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate the feedback :)

Edinburgh is a lovely place to visit in general. I don't know if December would be my preferred time to visit- the days are extremely short (like 3pm sunsets) and it is very likely to rain. When I lived there there was a small xmas market in Princes Street Gardens near the National Gallery, but I'm not sure if this has expanded since. If you are there for New Years Eve, you can experience Hogmanay, which is a very large street celebration with performances, fireworks, etc, altho you need to get tickets in advance in order to be let in.
