HAVING walked around Darlington’s town centre the other day with my children, aged three and one, I noticed just how commercialised Christmas has sadly become.
Most shops have already launched Christmas sales and half-price discounts.
Eventually we got to Boyes. In one window was a large Santa with his reindeers, which my children looked at with big smiles on their faces, and in the other window was a beautiful nativity scene.
No offers, just two wonderfully decorated window displays, both with the true meaning of Christmas.
Well done to Boyes and thank you for showing our children what Christmas is really about.
Mrs V Bester, Darlington.
