Ah, Christmas. Last Sunday was Guy Fawkes night, so there really is nothing left until Christmas. 46 shopping days or some such nonsense. And proving that Christmas is becoming even more secular (i.e. just a shopping, drinking and eating extravaganza), Regent Street is rolling out the same lights it used last year, making them different by changing the symbols of corporate sponsorship- the lights carry pictures of characters from a different Disney or Pixar (or whoever) film than they did last year. Only I'd rather promote the use of public transport, so there's a bendy bus in the foreground and a glimpse of the lights in the back. Happy Hanukah too!
