Sleigh bells ring....

Ah I can almost hear the sleigh bells as Santa’s elves harness up the reindeer. Christmas is just around the corner so knickers are flying off the shelf and Tricia is in and out of the window display like a festive jack in the box. I think she is beginning to regret choosing glittery paper for the giant cracker. The woman has permanent sparkly dandruff!

With only 7 shopping days until Santa tries to wedge his jolly jelly belly down the chimney the gents have started to think about doing a bit of Christmas shopping. Some sensible chaps have opted for our pick it pack it and deliver it service. Others have been organised enough to pop in a couple of weeks before Christmas to get their pick of all the nightwear and lingerie. Then we have those poor souls who come in looking like rabbits in headlights. Terrified at the prospect of getting it wrong, seeing a disappointed or disapproving face on Christmas day. Tricia does all she can to make sure these gents go home with a purple be-ribboned box filled with something gorgeous and from the low number of people coming back in January I guess she must be rather good at it!

I am entering the Christmas fray next week ensuring Tricia doesn’t over do the sherry and mince pies and still manages to crawl in and out the window without getting tangled in the fishing line she uses to suspend various frillies from.

After the hectic days running up to Christmas followed by the festive over indulgence Plums Lingerie will be closed until Monday 11th January. Tricia claims this is to give us the chance to paint the shop, give it a bit of a spring clean and let her have a little holiday. I think it’s more of a case of giving her 2 weeks to dry out!
