It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

On Tuesday morning we walked downtown and toured the decorated Christmas Tree exhibit at the world famous Empress Hotel.  Such a beautiful old sandstone structure on the Inner Harbour.







 
and then we walked up the street to the Grand Pacific Hotel where a decorated bear exhibit is on display right now, too.
 







 

 
 
I love to wander around and see the displays!    And I understand that there is a giant Menorrah on display in front of our legislature buildinsg, too, so we will have to get out and see that as well.
 
Do you get out and look at the Christmas and Hannukah displays in your town?

  2. How fun and festive to be able to walk and enjoy! We go out but have to drive as it's not within walking distance and it's freeeeezing!

  3. That is so awesome! My daughter would LOVE the bears. Yes, we try to look at what we have around here but I feel some of the neighboring islands do it so much better. I am so thankful we were able to visit O'ahu and really see the decorations in full force! I promise to download and share those pictures someday very soon!

  5. Those trees are so beautiful and the bears are adorable. We have some light displays here that I want to check out this weekend, but I'll have to see if we have anything similar here in Calgary.

    Have a great weekend!

  6. I love all the beautiful trees! We have decorated trees downtown and they call the area Tinsel Town. We will probably go next weekend to look at those and drive around to see Christmas lights.

  7. Pretty trees! I like to go to the zoo and see all the lights, sometimes we drive around town and look at all the lights, some neighborhoods really get into it.

  8. I've never been to Victoria over the holidays. I love the look of the Empress. How wonderful would it be to have high tea there this time of the year! Thanks for sharing, Elle!

  9. Beautiful! I love to go look at Christmas lights. The zoo here does a Wildlights display every year with something like a bazillion LED lights and it is my absolute favorite. I haven't been able to see it this year because I have been working weekend nights. :( So, I especially enjoyed your pictures. In case I don't get to tell you, a very Merry Christmas to you and The Captain. Sending lots of love your way!! :)
