Christmas 2012 – It’s a Stag thing

If there is one theme I saw again and again for Xmas 2012 it was the unmistakable shape of a Stags head. Nothing quite sums up Christmas like it, a Nordic and Scottish symbol for winter white landscapes.

Here is a selection from the stores for the coming season in all varieties.

Since this post first went out I have been contacted with more great Stags heads so I am adding a few more in here, thank you to everyone who told me about them.
