As in London they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas decorations are already up. And as a big fan of the Christmas Season, I am embracing it! From Christmas music to Christmas movies, I am celebrating early this year! And the one thing I cannot wait to see: not the lights on Regent Street or the lights on Oxford Street, but John Galliano's Christmas Tree that will be displayed at Claridge's, a 5-star hotel in London. Now, this isn't your ordinary Christmas Tree. Just take a look at the tree he designed last year:

Galliano's design for this year features an underwater theme, complete with coral, seahorses, jellyfish, and many other sea creatures. He has such an unique eye, and I can't wait to see the final piece! It will be unveiled on November 25, meaning that I will be taking my parents to see it since they will be here for Thanksgiving, whether they like it or not!

Some other events I plan to attend:
- The Rene Gruau exhibition at Somerset House, a celebration of the renowned illustrator, who created some of the most iconic fashion images of the 20th century; started November 10
- A talk by Albert Watson, Vogue photographer, on his several-decades-long career secrets at the Victoria and Albert Museum on November 23
- The Vintage Watson Opening at Hamilton's Gallery, a showcase of his most famous work, on November 26
Very cool! BTW- Christmas decorations are already up here too.
