GraceLand: It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas…said Harrods

One of my earliest memories of Christmas shopping probably goes back to when I was about 7(ish), with my parents taking my brother, sister and I to London on a cold December Saturday, wrapped up to our eyeballs in wooly scarves and hats and ambling us round the streets of Knightsbridge, Leicester Square, Oxford Street and all the major shopping haunts of Ye Olde London town. Back then I was probably more interested in Hamleys then Harvey Nicks, but the common factor that provided so much appeal has always been the Christmas window displays. Every year without fail gazing into shop windows at the gorgeous Christmas displays always leaves me feeling so festive. And who does it better then London’s most luxurious department store Harrods. This year I loved how they really embraced what I would consider a traditional Christmas, but of course with a glamouous Harrods twist. From the little mice having their own festive celebrations to Santa and his reindeer, I thought it was an extremely cute way of showcasing products and enticing passers by to come have a closer look, after all who can resist those sort of classic holiday scenes. It was almost like projecting a Christmas jumper into a rather huge shop window, and that would be a jumper I would want to wear!
