The winter in the UK is unforgiving and without the required protection gear, one can very easily get frostbitten. Having said that, Winter is also the time that we celebrate one of the most loved Holidays of the year! Christmas, which comes with the joy & cheer that spreads warmth in all our hearts even during the heights of Winter. Visualise walking down Regent Street, Oxford Steer or Carnaby Street that is filled with elaborate festive decor and lights that dazzle people that walk by them. There is a whole feeling of sheer merriment that is enthused by the general energy in the air and it touches everyone. White Christmases are a thing of joy as everyone gets to make the most of lovely snow that lights up the roads and is a great sport for children & adults alike. Winter also means we go all out to keep ourselves warm whether we are at home or outside. This task takes a lot of planning as you don’t want to get drenched in snow and not have a plan to get yourself dry. Shops go that extra mile to ensure they’re heating is working perfectly for the convenience of customers & staff. The terrain goes through a makeover ,the autumn colours slowly fade and give way to a white winter with a hint of colour here and there. 

Winter also means hot food is the staple and the time to experiment with pies made with rich filling. Hot fudge, mince pies, cinnamon rolls, scones, sticky toffee pudding, welsh rarebit and finally the Classic English Trifle are just some of the season favourites. It is the time to be merry and share the bounty of the year with all our loved ones, especially those in need. This year will see a different kind of winter in the UK. With the current rules in consideration, christmas lunches which are usually a grand affair will be smaller events with limited seats at the dining table. Giving and receiving of presents will heavily depend on delivery companies and in all probability a contactless delivery. E-gifting is the norm these days and that is where Aha Bazaar comes into the picture this winter.
