So when does Christmas 2018 start?
Wednesday 12th September 2018
For most people the run up to Christmas starts in the mid-autumn when the shops start to stock Christmas goods and the John Lewis and Coke adverts appear on the telly.
The shops started much earlier, designing and sourcing the 2018 Christmas ranges at the end of 2017 and start of 2018.
But our 2018 Christmas stock buying started in April 2015 when we bought a number of boxed Snowmen (made by Coalport) which promptly went on display. Only for a recent hall redesign to see the Snowmen packed away again.. So we decided they had to be rehomed, which is why they have just been listed on Ebay and two are Walking in the Air to new owners already!
