Christmas Blossoms - 2009

[brent]

Those are beautiful, Brad!! I am totally jealous. I really want to get to the mall this weekend, but I have too many assignments and essays to complete. It looks as if I will have to wait until next weekend to take some blossom photos! Thanks for sharing. The Sears lights look real nice!

Sure it counts, Brad!
We are simply looking for signs of Christmas (much like looking for changing leaves as a sign of fall).
Great pictures!

That Christmas Village is stunning. What a beautiful store.

Boswells Dept. store in Oxford (England) has such a pretty Christmas display. The windows have wooden train-carriage style decorations which are so cute. And inside, the food section is full of candy canes and marzipan fruits and big boxes of deluxe chocolates... it all got a bit much the other day and I ended up going to the supermarket and buying mince pies to eat guiltily while listening to Christmas music and scolding myself for being excited so early.


Marks and Spencers have an awesome Christmas theme too, they have these GIANT baubles on the ceiling and floor, covered in rows of flashing lights.

I might go on a photo taking spree later actually. I need to go to the library now, and some shops are conveniently on the way... I'm far too easily distracted. I'm a terrible student, but an awesome Christmas fanatic :yahoo: haha

I unfortunately don't have any pics but for e when I walk into Hallmark and see their display of ornaments I get VERY excited! Also,the Macy's in Exton, Pa has had their Christmas disply up since the middle of October. It just put a huge smile on my face and made me feel like a little kid again!!!

When you are posting a reply, just above the reply box are buttons for various fonts, colors etc. On the bottom row, fifth from the right is a square box with what looks like a mountain scene. That is the "insert image" button.

Your image will have to be stored on a site that allows direct linking, such as www.photobucket.com . That's the one I use. After you upload the image to photobucket, click on it and a drop-down menu will appear. Copy the text next to "direct link", then paste it on the line after clicking the "insert image" button. It sounds complicated, but it's not really, after you do it a few times.

Good luck!

As I have previously mentioned, the four foot tree and one string of lights are up in our cozy three bedroom apartment! A little early, but I am gone home on December 5th. Kim wanted them up in order to feel like a full Season while I am here. How nice of her! I currently cannot find my musical lights, which is very disheartening. They were my grandfather's and I inherited them after he past on four years ago. They remind me a lot of my childhood and the times I spent at my grandparents' house since they were purchased in the late 70s or early 80s. I really hope that I can find them as they mean a lot to me.

The red string of lights is currently missing due to one being burnt out. I will replace it when I have time this weekend and take new photos. Kim and I will probably purchase more decorations and add to it all quite soon as well. More photos, again.

I am headed out to Walmart and Home Depot in a little while! I will take my camera to shoot whatever Christmas things I see!!!)

I'm feeling Christmassy already, Brent!


Here's one I snapped at the State Fair.
They always have a Christmas display in Dorton Arena.

Glad I could add a little to the Christmas spirit! In other news, I went to Independent (a popular grocery store chain) and they were already in full Christmas decorations. I couldn't believe it. Music was the only thing missing! I will start carrying my camera with me from now on. There are just so many photo opportunities that I may be missing!

Thanks for the fair photo, Crown! That tree is quite filled!
