Christmas in London is a very special time. I know, I know—ALLLL my American friends are thinking, "But it's not even Thanksgiving yet!"
Realistically, Christmas starts creeping in aboutttt mid-October, and then once Halloween is over, BAM!! It's a full-blown Santa's workshop here, complete with adverts, decorations, music—you name it!
I'm super sad that I won't be around much longer to marinate in all it's glory, but my stroll down Regent Street earlier this week helped get me into the holiday spirit and out of my funk... Well, not completely... I'm still stressed about our upcoming move, but at least the decorations lightened my mood and got me excited for the holidays to come!
Christmas has many different meanings to many different people, but for me, it's all about spending time with loved ones. And that is what I will be doing this holiday season.
So, thank you London, for bringing back that warm and gooey feeling of childhood anticipation and excitement and for slowing me down and reminding me that no matter what craziness is going on, there is always something to look forward to.
And I am looking forward to the holidays.
