Christmas Blossoms - 2017

Crown 84 · Oct 16, 2017

Neuse Sport Shop series.
As regular readers of this thread know, we always stop about half way to the beach at the Neuse Sport Shop in Kinston.
They aways have a nice Christmas section every year. In the past it was up year round, but recently, they have started putting it up in September.

1) Decorated tree greets visitors.

2) This Santa looks a little tired. (I guess he's been sitting there a long time!)

3) Gingerbread as far as the eye can see in this tasty looking display.

4) A snow man makes his way through a glittery forest.

5) and 6) Two views of their traditional virtual fireplace. Looks fairly realistic from a distance in motion.
(Puts you in the holiday mood, anyway!)

Beautiful, Crown. It really makes me want to sit by a fireplace and enjoy some gingerbread cookies while having my toes thaw because I was outside on my rink in -25c temperatures for three hours. OK... well, maybe not the toes part, but that was a big part of my childhood. Nowadays, I'll just take the fireplace and cookies.
