Christmas UK - Christmas 2014 Lookback

Christmas 2014 Lookback

Keeping It Simple But Massive

But what do you do if you cannot arrange a projector to point towards the front of your store? Marks and Spencer went for innovative programmable nets of lights which showed imaginative animations featuring their two Christmas angel mascots. Impressive, and a refreshing change from giant video screens.

B&Q Leads The Nation’s Big Switch On

And B&Q decided to bring this closer to home, asking people to send in their videos of turning on their Christmas lights on the first Saturday of December.

They received plenty of videos, ranging from lit-up Christmas jumpers all the way up to fully decorated house fronts.

NEWEST ENTRIES

It has become fashionable to knock the first signs of Christmas appearing earlier and earlier every year, even to the point of some people demanding that the festive run-up be restricted to early December. We here at Christmas UK reject this, and we revel in the hype, commerce and imagery that appears during the hundred days leading up to the big day. The sight of the first Christmas shop department, the first seasonal television advert, even the first snow-scented song on the radio are joys to watch out for. Christmas and the lead up to it, no matter what it means to you and how you celebrate it, can be an enjoyable experience if you let it be. So join us as we welcome “the most wonderful time of the year” and track how Britain prepares for and celebrates the festive season.
Even if it does start in July!
