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

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

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! I'd love to have a tree like that!

Hello everyone! It's an Advent already so enjoy the period before Holidys!

I'm quite satisfacted that this wek has almost ended. The group presentations at the university are done and all essays of the semester are submited. I have survived it all!

Thank you all for sharing all these pictures of beautiful Christmas decorations. The preparation for the holiday is definitely on its full pace, isn't it? :] I got a picture of decorated Christmas tree at the university campus for you guys to show but afterwatching so many other gorgeousones, mine might look a bit plane. ^^ Anyway, here it is: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/607/christmastreeattheunive.jpg/ I still think it looks more spectacular when it gets dark outside because you can actually see all these lights on the tree. :]

Wayne and I went to Fredericksburg, Texas last weekend and saw this animated 26 ft. tall German Pyramid.

You and I both, Brad! Actually, I bet there are about hundreds of us here that would like to give a similar tree like that a good home!

That's neat, C-A-H. I may have attempted to climb that. Good thing it's all the way in Texas!

Logan's series.

We always go to "Logan's Trading Company" for our Christmas trees and poinsettias. It is a converted railway station.
Wonderful, Christmassy place!

1) Entrance

2) Opening to the Christmas section.
(The Seaboard Cafe is where we eat lunch.)

3) Decorated tree near the entrance

Still at Logans.

4) One of these trees is now in our living room!

5) As is one of these poinsettias.
(This is just a small portion of all the poinsettias they have.)

A few local shots.

The following three were taken at our closest small strip mall practically in walking distance of where we live.

1) Entrance sign, with a seasonal topper.

2) Large wreath against a cloudy sky.

3) Went back a day later when the sky was clear!
(Wow. What a difference!)

The Season is still Blossoming. Kim, her friend Britt and her boyfriend Dan and I went to a street called "Taffey Lane" in Ottawa. There was quite the magical display of lights. I will share a few photos!

The starter:

On closer inspection, Santa is definitely passing out/falling over in the background:
