Exhausted by the thought of another harried Christmas/Holiday Season? Dreading the annual visit from Uncle Whatshisname? Or not living up to your mother's discerning eye? Then why not travel to England this Christmas and experience a European Christmas without the need for translation?London's shopping season opens in mid November when Regent Street ceremoniously turns on it's Christmas lights for a pedestrian parade, and then London bursts wide open with yuletide passion. This historic city prefers to spread out it's Christmas cheer over its expanse. From the Marble Arch to Harrod's to Regent Street to the Natural History Museum to Somerset House, the city of London comes alive with the electric spirit of Christmas. Bundle up against the weather and get lost in London's winter beauty. See the Norwegian fir dazzle Christmas joy across Trafalgar Square. Visit Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland where fairy lights twinkle over a traditional German Christkindlmarkt. And finally, off to Somerset House where possibly the most beautiful setting for an ice skating rink can be found. Top the day off with some hot cocoa and you will have a holiday to remember. No Uncle Whatshisname, no harried Target/Macy's/Wal-Mart shopping, no cooking and cleaning for twenty and no disapproving relative huffing "under their breath, but within earshot". Just a marvelous holiday in a marvelous locale. Want to join me?
Oh...did I forget to mention Harrod's, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols?
