I actually spotted a few local stores actually promoting Christmas last week (as in September) which does seem like a great shame to me because I think the build up to Christmas ought to start in October or perhaps a little later when the nights close in and become somewhat colder than the summer months.
There is something very special about Christmas, especially for the kids as well as us younger adults!
Hamleys is one of those stores that will always be a part of Christmas in my eyes, and to any parents whom haven't been able to see for themselves what Hamleys have to offer, their website is certainly an eyeopener.
