It's getting closer every day!

Despite everything that has happened this year - the Christmas spirit is still very much alive, at least, certainly in southeast London.

We hope to bring you some more wintery and festive scenes in the coming week in the run-up to next Friday.

In the meantime, if you have any Christmassy pictures you would like featured in the paper or online, please email slcolumns@newsquest.co.uk and we will do our best to fit you in!

You can also join our Facebook Camera Club group, where we select photographs submitted by our readers each week to be published in the next edition of the News Shopper paper.

Here are some of the Christmas lights shared by our readers so far:
