Close to downtown - our zoo!

Eld, that’s where you live? It’s gorgeous!

Murraysmom, love the jellyfish!

@eld6161 - Westchester, Hudson Valley, or Stars Hollow? :)

I think my son took this in January of last year - it's the view from his office

Our little downtown village with street closed for holiday stroll.

They keep all the ficus trees trimmed year round.

I would but it's pretty horrid these days. Someone decided to get rid of the pretty warm lights and mixed warm lights on some decorations to those cold, ugly, blue lights on the poles that are decorated. It's awful.

Our Santa Fe Plaza decorated for Christmas. I’m not sure what year this was.

KathgardenKath garden, so sorry to hear that.

This was the tree lighting ceremony last weekend. We wanted to go but our schedule didn’t allow. Seeing this picture and estimates of 10,000 people I’m ok with that.

I took these blurry drive-by pictures last night. Random rainy night, so a few less people.

Food, wow what a crowd! Instay away from things like rhat.

Our town square is in the process of being redesigned, they will keep the ice rink.

Lat62, My brother lived in Alaska! Last place was Palmer before moving to NC.

And another user name explained… 🙂

Food, you are really on your feet this morning!

This is the little town (only one traffic light) near our place in upstate PA. They had 6 inches of snow the other night and these photos were posted online.

wow that's amazing Marie ( and just about everyone else posting here. Love the photos!).

I did not take this pic, but just saw it on FB and thought I'd share.

Every year West Chester does a Christmas parade. It's this Friday evening, and I still have yet to get there. ...one year...

Hmmm I thought that image looked very similar to where we were this summer so I decided to try my google search.... and yes it is! What a gorgeous town that is, @maire_cate.

We were there at the end of August and thought it was a total delight.

This is how a local nursery used to decorate for Christmas in my little village of Ivy VA. Sadly the dragonfly and blue night sky no longer exist but that moon still rises in December.

No snow, ever.

Santa Monica Pier.

Nancy, is that only Christmas time that they light things up?

Salonva- it is a cute little town and as I'm sure you'll remember - it is little. Right now we actually have 2 traffic lights operating. Penn Dot is finally replacing the old bridge over the Sawkill Creek so only one lane is open. It's very quiet in the winter and many of the shops and restaurants reduce their hours. Our place is about 5 miles from town. We were there for Thanksgiving and the snow arrived as we were leaving.

My town looks so sad. Someone bought three of the buildings that make up a lot of our little village and now they are all vacant and dark. Its usually filled with white lights outlining all the buildings Its just one intersection. One business had a big wooden soldier but that is sadly gone.

Theres a tree lighting ceremony this Sunday but its all about young families and kids so I dont go. Also its too cold!

Here’s a picture of the Christmas light show at the Wanamaker Building in Philadelphia, from a few years back.

dedtired - I told my DS and DDIL that we should take the girls down to see the show and Dickens Village and then walk over to the Christmas Village in Love Park and City Hall. Who knows how long the light show will really last. Philly has lost too many wonderful and unique attractions.

Maire, yes see them while you can. I remember the monorail that went around the toy department as well as visiting Santa. I guess the days of wonderful department stores are over. Its too bad.
