The Christmas Day of 2017 will coming for about a month. If you go to street and go shopping, you can see some Shopping mall’s Christmas Windows and displays showing on. They are eye-catching and so bright. They use green Christmas trees, red socks, balloons, stars, lights and so on. All of these make you fell happy and happy, but the main aim is want you to buy more and more.

Christmas Day is the most important festival of a year, near Chinese New Year. In fashion industry , Autumn and Winter’s clothes are always have a high sell price than Spring and Summer’s. For example, a clothing shop sell a down jacket for RMB 4500, but it will sell three summer’s shirts to get the price. So Christmas Day is also important for all the fashion brands that they can get more sale.

My short-term plan is to finish the Christmas and New Year’s window displays in our book shop. I wish these two window displays have bright views. The vision of window display have a high value, they can catch your eyes and simulate you into the shop and buy some goods.

My short-term plan is to finish the Christmas and New Year’s window displays in our book shop. I hope they look beautiful and bright! Having eye-catching windows is very valuable for a shop, because they can stimulate you to go into the shop and buy some goods.
