As a kid in the 50's my biggest thrill at Christmas was peering into the magic of store front windows.

Not only does the magic and colors of these Christmas windows make your "spirit" take wings and burst with happiness they have a way of touching that child that will always live inside each and everyone of us...you know that "Peter Pan" syndrome part!

To be young again and see it all through those eyes is what actually prompted me to start "Soft in the Head"...I wanted everyone to hold onto that child-like innocence we had at this time of year and nothing does it better than a smile...a smile brought on by the tugging of those childhood memories! Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas to you and yours Pam and keep on doing what you are doing xxx
