Thanks much, Caninemom.

Things are really getting festive around here!

Here are some images of festive decorations at Bayshore Shopping Centre. I wish I could have taken more photos, but I was just getting used to my new phone... and it was hectic, too! People were everywhere! The Christmas Season is alive and well!

...all ready for Santa!:

Now that I have my new phone all figured out, I look forward to taking some higher quality photos (than my Blackberry) of the Christmas Season!

Like that first, lofty shot, Brent.
And Santa looks like he has a nice set-up!

Thanks, Crown! I like it, too. I just wish that all my other photos turned out like that rather than blurring. Oh well. I will blame the new phone!

Store window Christmas Trees series.
(Nothing quite like a nice storefront holiday display to get you in the mood!)

Sorry for the reflections but there is only so much you can do photographing through glass in a brightly lit mall.

First, two from Express:

1)

2)

3) Ticknors' display.

Continuing.

4) and 5) Brooks Brothers always has such classy displays. I look forward to their windows every year.

6) Another nice, formal display

7) Beautifully decorated tree at Pottery Barn.

8) Nice holiday border around this Belks display.

9) This is about all Sears could muster in the way of decorations.
(Have never felt they were as much "in the spirit" as their two mall competitors, Macys and Belks.)

Hotel series.

Embassy Suites and Marriott are near each other close to Crabtree and compete anually with their Christmas decor!

1) Nice tree in the main lobby at Embassy.

2) Smaller trees flank the Embassy doorway

Not to be outdone

3) Marriott's tree.
(Not as big but nicely decorated!)

4) Large wreath adorns a front window.

5) Smaller decoration accents a wall lamp.

This is some of the cast of Nutcracker Ballet that my daughter was in 2 weeks ago. They are playing in the snow left on the stage after the show.

I was in Paris the last few weeks and got a few pictures of Christmas decorations.

A very nice Christmas shop:

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the tree had fake snow constantly coming out from the top.

Decorations on the Champs Elysees

Crown: Excellent photos from the Embassy Suites and Marriot! I always love seeing hotel decorations for the Season!

Brad: Those photos of TN look great! The house on the hillside must have been quite the sight to see! Those all look magical!

Ezra: Welcome to the thread! Thank you for your contributions! Seeing European decorations is one of my favourite things about this thread.
