Turning to Brexit. Great Britain is giving final touches for the last Christmas celebration before leaving the European Union. Retailers at the annual Spirit of Christmas event in London have mixed feelings about how Brexit will affect future trade. Let's take a closer look.  

There is ongoing uncertainty about Great Britain's future as the country prepares to leave the EU - not least about how the divorce will affect trade. Retailers and exhibitors at this year's recently concluded Spirit of Christmas Fair at Olympia in London, are showcasing their goods for the holiday season. Some retailers said they remain positive and haven't seen signs of a negative impact on their business.

ANIA ZANKOWSKA, FOUNDER AERLOOM LONDON "I'm not feeling it (Brexit) yet, of course, we're all very much curious about what's going to happen in the future. I'm remaining very positive. I work very closely with the Department of Trade and Investment, who assure me that the situation will be well monitored and the support I've received will be continued."

An exhibitor selling iconic British images this Christmas is the founder of Village Workshop. Itet Radcliffe says that unless the online sites she sells through change their rules, her business should remain stable. And she believes there is something about British-made goods that still give people confidence to buy.

ITET RADCLIFFE, FOUNDER VILLAGE WORKSHOP "We sell through online shops and they distribute to Europe and they haven't given us any indication that things will be changing. For this year definitely, we haven't seen any change, no repercussions at all."

There have been some complaints about rising costs brought on by Brexit. The owner of The Oxton Liqueur Company -- Christopher Eadie -- says Brexit related fluctuations in currencies have come at a cost for him.

CHRISTOPHER EADIE, OWNER OXTON LIQUEUR COMPANY "Well in the run-up to Brexit, we've seen the currency move from about 140 to about 110 (British pound to Euro), so we've seen an increase in the price of goods that we buy from Europe of about 25 percent. So that for us is all our glass, that comes from Italy, from Germany and from France. So already there's been a huge impact, what will happen after Brexit we'll have to see, but time will tell."

The Spirit of Christmas Fair 2018 often is a good indicator of consumer confidence and spending power. Organizers say the recently ended fair set records for visitor and exhibitor attendance.
