Whether you’ve started working Bing Crosby onto your iPod or you’re firmly clinging to fall, you can’t ignore the holidays, and they’re coming especially quick this year.

We spotted red and green decorations on Broadway a week ago, and with last week’s word that John Galliano’s working on Claridge’s Christmas tree, it’s officially time for holiday news. Today, Vogue UK reports that Luella Bartley’s taking over Liberty of London.

She’s designed and directed the window decorations and will open her personal Christmas grotto with a cider and candy cane-filled party tonight featuring what we’ll bet is this year’s first appearance by Father Christmas. The in-store shop will feature “kitsch gifts and trinkets,” as well as some Luella.

Meanwhile, stateside, we’ll go another holiday season without a Luella stockist in sight.
