Christmas in Australia is held in the summer months and is usually spent outdoors or by the beach. A wooden Christmas tree stands in the sand by the ocean at sunrise. A seagull flys overhead
One of my favorite decorations are these gigantic Christmas lights that are on display every year on 6th Avenue in New York City during the holiday season. They're extremely huge and are on a platform behind a barricade so no one can actually get close to them. I wish you could though. I think it would be fun to take a picture peeking in between the lights or have a bunch of kids climbing all over them. I just find them so colorful and fun!

I'm still getting out the Christmas decorations, in the meantime I'm enjoying last year's decorations.
I love my old Teddy, a gift from my Aunt Margie when I was seven years old (which qualitfies it as "vintage" - maybe even "antique"!
It's so much fun to revisit my Christmas souvenirs every year, a lovely walk down memory lane.

Christmas markets on Dublin's Saint Stephens Green. This is something of a new tradition, started off in recent years by "farmers markets " at holiday times & with huge footfall along Stephens Green stretching from the shopping centre to Kildare Street, most of the wooden cabins are now open for business.

The week before we left for our annual Thanksgiving retreat in Breckenridge, Marna and Paige put up one of our two Christmas trees. This year Paige voted for the one with colored lights. The other has only white lights. While the tree was up, it was bare with the exception of the pre-wired lights. This morning grandma and grandpa left for Fort Collins, and the remainder of the afternoon was dedicated to decorating the tree and house.
The first task was in organizing the numerous boxes that contain the ornaments for the tree with colored lights, from the ornaments for the tree with the white lights. Yes, they both have a complete set of decorations. Once they were organized and labeled, the ornaments were extracted from their containers, into piles ready to be hung. Once everything was out, we set to decorating the tree to a background of Christmas music.
It occurred to us that this was the first year that Paige was able to help decorating the tree. She did a great job within the scope of her view and reach; which in this case meant that some of the lower branches were weighted down so heavily that some of the ornaments were laying on the ground beneath the tree. After all the ornaments were hung, I evened them out and Marna put a train around the base of the tree.

Decorating gingerbread houses with friends made me feel like such a kid! Their house was so cheerful and cozy with all of its holiday decorations - of course I had to snap some shots. Nothing says Christmas like tree-light bokeh ;)

Ohmygosh Care your sewing skills are truly magnificent to behold in person! How cute is this little dress?
Grace came shopping with me! Didn't succeed in actually buying anything for anyone else, of course. Scoured TK Maxx for more reduced LPS girls, though...
I have a problem. :)
It's not the time of year right now, but this were the Christmas lights in Skopje, the capital of Macedonia (to be exact: FYROM, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia).
The Macedonian orthodox church celebrates Christmas, like many of the orthodox churches, on Januar 6th. Therefore everything was still in full anticipation, when we went there on the evening of January 1st, with the first bus from Sofia.
The Christmas lights looked really nice and overwhelming (no comparison to Sofia), but if you look closely you can see a T-Mobile-logo as star on the christmas tree in the background, it also explains the color ... Commercialisation everywhere :(
