A Strasbourg Christmas


I wasn't planning on making another Christmas decoration post
but I had an unexpected chance to take a trip up to Strasbourg this week.
 As I have mentioned before,
 Strasbourg has a huge Christmas market every year 
that draws huge crowds of people. 
We didn't go to visit the Christmas market though,
 we instead wandered the streets away from the markets 
and only came close a few times.
 One of the wonderful things about Strasbourg at Christmas 
is the beautiful decorations that shop owners put above their shops.
 They are often very elaborate beautiful Christmas scenes 
and I strove to capture as many of these as possible 
so I could bring them to you today.
 I don't have much else to say,
these pictures speak for themselves.
 Enjoy some beautiful scenes from Strasbourg, France 
as you celebrate your holidays near and far. 
I wish you peace and joy in this holiday season!

  2. This was great fun. It always used to be so exciting to go to State Street in downtown Chicago to see the wonderful decorations in all the store windows. Your wonderful photos reminded me of how much I miss that. Thank you.
