Christmas

Its almost that time of year again when the sliegh bells ring and the snow drops begin to fall , Yes Christmas is almost on us , just 35 more days to go.
The shops have thier decorations up and all thier christmas sweeties on sale and the thoughts of diets are put off now until new years eve when resolutions are made.
Its the time of goodwill and the time of joy.
Working in a shop as i have done for as long as i can remember it is a time of stress for all the managers to hit the targets thier is no thought about the real reasons that we celebrate.
Trafalgar square in London is a place to go where the people of Norway always give us a tree to thank us for our help in the war.
Somerset house is another place to go to where they have an outdoor ice rink , music and a beuatiful christmas tree , its like a scene from a movie and the place to go if you are young lovers.
Selfridges is the place i always used to go to with my mum and my sister to see the grotto , it always had a theme and i remember one year meeting the stars from the film planet of the apes , im not sure what it is like nowadays !
London at night where you can walk through theatre land and down the streets into china town and smell and taste some of the local delights , if you wonder around you will soon find streets full of christmas lights and lots and lots of joy , Its the place i call home and a place you cannever better , its the town with so much history style and elegence that if you go , you need at least 2 to 3 weeks to see the whole place with shops and markets for all and enough attractions around for people of all ages
