I agree Bluebelle,on the whole they dont sit comfortably with me. I'm sure there will be some people out there for whom it will be Christmas as usual,but for many and for many reasons it will be very different this year. I remember the first John Lewis and where the little boy was excited for Christmas so he could give presents. It was origional and sweet. Since then it seems an all out competition to be the most sentimental! I dont think any of them could persuade me to buy something I wasnt going to buy anyone.
I think I liked this one because there was an element of reality. Christmas memories are about the little things,those that are silly,funny or bitter sweet.
There is another thread about Christmas Eve Boxes,another addition and expense! I'm sure in years to come the lucky childeren will remember the little traditions,reading a special story,snuggling up and watching a christmas movie,the scents and tastes of the season. Often the excess packaging will be forgotten.
