Fortnum & Mason's

It's become a bit of a Christmas tradition that I visit this well known and loved London department store and take photos of its famous Christmas window display. I've so far written about the Alice in Wonderland windows, and the Twelve Days of Christmas.

This year the theme is the Snow Queen. I went to the shops in daylight this year; this meant I could see the windows more clearly, but there was more of a reflection, so the quality isn't always as good! However, I hope you like them!

This magical mirror a sorcerer did curse
Where good looked bad, and bad looked worse.


The greatest of friends poor Gerda and Kay
Neath rose framed windows they loved to play.


A splinter of mirror glass pierced the heart of Kay
The Snow Queen flew down, bearing him away.


The Snow Queen's palace, so white and cold
To free her Kay, Gerda must be bold.


To find her friend Gerda soon set forth
The reindeer carrying her far to the north.


Her tears of love melt the ice in Kay's heart
And from this day on they will not part.
