The City Daily Photo theme day for December was orignally People in their workplace and then it got amended to Worker.
A once a year job started weeks back, on Halloween, as Manchester council workmen and workwomen (aka Santa's little helpers?) assembled Father Christmas in Albert Square (above).
A few weeks later (below) on 10 November they were putting up the stalls for the Christmas Markets (actually more like late-autumn markets) which dominate the city centre in several locations, from the Cathedral Gardens to Spinningfields, Brazennose St to Campfield Arcade. Even the soulless and clinically commericalised Market Street has some Xmas market stalls this year.
Five mulled wine drinking, twinkling light filled festive weeks from Friday 14 November to Sunday 21 December.
Working for fun in the 1st one.
