Ontario, Canada eh!
OK, Folks. Our photo thread is back once again!

The time has arrived to launch our annual and highly anticipated Christmas Blossoms thread for the 10th consecutive year here at MMC! (Can you believe it's been that long?)
Time once again to search for "Christmas blossoms" -- visual signs that Christmas is coming and that we are entering and moving through Christmas Season 2016!

The purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post any Christmas Season-related photos you, your family or friends have taken this year.

(In years past, I have traditionally launched this thread with photos of "A Christmas To Remember", but recently, they have either not appeared or showed up after Halloween. I will be watching for them again this year and, if they come to the mall, will post photos just as soon as possible!)

For this year, I will start with the always dependable Hallmark, and also with Belks, who has already begun creating their Christmas section!

Enjoy (and please contribute to) the photo collection, so that we can really start getting into Christmas Season 2016!


1) Hallmark ornament rack, already well-stocked!


2) Attractive little house, dated with the year, awaits a purchaser.


3) Things well under way at Belks!

awesome !!! I get a lot of great idea from this thread and so much fun to look at all the pictures.

It has arrived! Thank you, Crown, for debuting this magical thread once again. I have a feeling that this will be the most successful year for "Christmas Blossoms" yet.

How can we make it the most successful? Well, last year, we reached 559 replies. Two years ago, however, the Blossoms thread set a record of 622 replies. Let's try to share all the magical sights and have everyone live the experiences of our Seasons.

I've taken a few shots from around Ottawa. I'm sure everyone has already witnessed similar blossoms, but let's enjoy!:

A few neat items, and what looks like traditional wooden figures:


Yep. I think they are wooden:
