The Christmas Cracker Shop

Owner doesn’t pay his staff and disappears after Christmas. Products are kept in storage for years and often badly damaged. Just a dodgy man selling cheap crap really

This shop is obviously a recent addition. I say this pretty secure in my knowledge because I doubt the business for a Christmas decoration shop rages the whole year round. but lo and behold, at the end of November, it is among us! Walking in and walking around is a pleasure though, the cobbled stones on the floor and the gentle Christmas music (the first I’ve heard in shops for a long time).
Everything you could want to put on your Christmas tree is ready and waiting in this shop. Even some trees themselves! The good are quite expensive although when I look at them, I truly don’t feel that they’ve come off the end of a production line. little imperfections in some of the Santa sculptures and things indicate a bit more hand crafted work… I was particularly enamoured by the hand mate felt advent calendar. The staff are French and very friendly, wishing me a bonne noél. As I do to you, the reader, too!
