Just 70 days until Christmas or just 11 weekends. I had to go shopping today and again was quite surprised at how busy it was. Just about every shop now have their initial Christmas displays out. I popped into John Lewis and picked up their Christmas Brochure. I settled down with this and a cup of coffee while enjoying the sun in conservatory. They have some nice things in there this year. In the electrical department they are featuring a number of speakers which are compatible with Apple’s Airplay wireless music streaming system. This allows you to wirelessly stream music from you iPod/iPhone/iPad etc to the hi-fi quality speaker unit. In the children’s toys the classic Etch A Sketch brought back happy memories. It’s obviously aimed more at the Mums & Dads than the children.
On the way home I had to make a quick stop off at B&Q and they had their Christmas display out but by then I was running far to late to stop and look.
I like it when the stores get all their christmas catalogues, displays etc out I only wish they would wait till at least after bonfire night. It ends up making the christmas months go on for such a long time and stops it feeling quite as magical in my opinion.
