Curator’s statement
I love Christmas! I love Christmas even more in London because no matter what street you take, Christmas lights and music are echoed. There are more Christmas markets in London than you can count, and each one offers something unique. I celebrated my birthday and Jesus' birthday in this luxurious city, solo, and I loved every minute. I met people in the most random ways and have made new friends that have a British accent, hehe. xx
