For a long time I've really wanted to share Christmas in London with my parents, the ultimate Christmas patrons. Anyone who knows them, even before crossing the threshold of their front door, knows they are the supreme lovers of all things Christmas. Few places do Christmas as well as London. It really is such a special place at Christmas, and we wanted to share that with them. Their trip began sluggishly with a massively delayed flight and further delayed luggage, but they were good sports about it. Delayed luggage was eventually restored, and we carried on to enjoy a lovely Christmas together with them at home in London.
