The festive markets have gone and the tradespeople have returned to their families in mainland Europe to celebreate Noël, Weihnachten, Kersttdage etc
But Albert Square was the venue for a lively pre-Christmas bash in the form of a giant pillow fight.
Lots of young people bashed each other over the head with feather pillows, many of which were sacrificed, but it was all in a good cause.
My photos of the pillow fight were used on the BBC Newsround website.
Not the usual photographic subject matter of Eye On Manchester, but one which commanded the attention of the media all the same.
Well done to the organisers and thanks to Alex McCann, creator of the excellent Designer Magazine where there’s a photo gallery page with the photos I took.
