What is Christmas time without some hot chocolate? It is a rhetorical question :).
Although this is not really Christmas themed, I love the red London icons of the telephone booth and the double-decker bus. I feel that the somber grey scene with the brightly coloured icons is indeed festive.
The above images are of my three favourite Christmas movies.
And there they are; everything that spells Christmas to me. Have a Merry Christmas and please do spread some joy this festive season.
