Forget about it being "Black" Friday today - who needs to be tromping around overheated big box stores looking for bargains on items no one really needs when we could be meandering along the festively bedecked streets of old London?
For today marks the opening day of the 30th Anniversary Great Dickens Christmas Fair at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.
I'll be there this opening weekend, in full Victorian regalia, welcoming members of the Bay Area's modern day media to the life and times of the man who invented Christmas as we know it and celebrate it today.
More from the Fair via handy iphone blog posts later in the day.....
