Christmas Blossoms - 2015

[brent]

More at Crabtree:
1) Christmas tree decorates a furniture store.

2) Overhead garland display in one of the wings.

3) Finishing touches being placed on the outdoor mall tree!

Beautiful photos, Crown. It looks like they selected a perfect day to setup the decorations. There doesn't appear to be a cloud in the sky!

It is amazing to me how fast stores are turning into Christmas mode. Because of the whole Sinterklaas thing, stores over here do not do that yet.

That is too bad. As a constellation, however, you do live in my most favourite country in the world. At least you have that going for you!

The Great Canadian Superstore added a few more items and decor to their Seasonal section a couple days ago, including signs with their Christmas slogan. I like it!

Can't go wrong with making everything "Merry" and bright:

Wrapping paper and accessories:

I'm excited for these trees to be on display the next time I am shopping here:

Santa's village under construction at Crabtree.
(Hard to believe he will be in residence 2 weeks from Saturday!)

The main mall decorations now lit!
(They put them up in late October but don't illuminate them until after Halloween.)

Haha! I can no longer do any wrong now

Absolutely not. I have been to the Netherlands twice. It is absolutely beautiful. I would love to see what it looks like throughout this year's Christmas Season though!

Wow! So magical. Looks like Crabtree is nearly all ready for the Big Guy. I hope to get out sometime this weekend and see if either Bayshore Shopping Centre or Rideau Centre are nearing festive completion. Thanks, Crown!!

All these photos are making me sooooo eager to go from store to store next weekend just to look at their Christmas selection! A big thank you to everyone for sharing!
Here are a couple more pictures from my store. We're in full Christmas mode now.

Does your "full Christmas mode" mean that Christmas music is playing, too?!

 

[Crown 84]

That's what I'm waiting for here, too.
You know you've really "arrived" when the music comes!

Hey!
Look what I saw being prepared at Crabtree when I was out there this afternoon!

Replacing "Halloween Alley" (as if we didn't know it would!).

Woohoo!!! Now we're talking!

Yes! I was in a Homsense today and did not hear any Christmas music. None in Wal-Mart either. Most stores wait until after November 11, at least, for the music. I like that.

Wow! I became quite excited when I saw this!!! I can't wait for more updates, Crown. It's great to see A Christmas To Remember making its return!

 

[Crown 84]

I'll be sure to post updated photos once everything is in place!

You're right Brent, our store will start playing Christmas music on November 12th only. So we're not yet in full-out Christmas mode.
