Teddy Bear Times  |  Issue 255
Are you ready for Christmas yet? I don’t know about you but I’m a bit old fashioned and like the build up to the festive season to start once Halloween and, here in the UK, Guy Fawkes’ Night have been and gone. Those marketing men have other ideas though and already, in early October, the supermarket shelves are full of mince pies, Christmas puddings and all manner of seasonal treats. Perhaps I feel this way because we have to work at least a couple of months in advance here at Teddy Bear Towers to ensure you aren’t reading about Christmas in March!
I do like to start making my Christmas cake early though, to give it time to mature, and this is a tradition carried through from my childhood. My grandmother would always make far more cakes than we needed as we had several family birthdays at the same time of year (including mine!). I love the fact that various countries have their own festive traditions — teddy bear artist Lisa Pianigiani lets us into the secrets of celebrations in her Italian home.
Wherever you are in the world, I hope the end of 2021 finds you well and free of Covid restrictions, and that 2022 offers a happy and healthy year for us all.
