When I was on Oxford Street, London, last week I couldn’t stop taking photos of the brand new Christmas windows. The wool window in John Lewis (no they’re not sponsoring me more’s the pity, I just love the shop!) has gone but the creativity of the new displays is amazing. Have a good look at what’s used to make the creatures…

The last is as I walked along to Selfridges, also a favourite. It was nearly dark when I left and very busy so my iPhone photos of their windows are not very clear.
For me it’s too early to start buying presents in bulk, although I will get something when I see it, but I do love the sparkles, the lights and the air of anticipation.
