With Love, Elle
Alright so I wanna share some photos I've taken around the city which shows off a lil of what Christmas looks like in the City of Melbourne. I enjoy posts like this... because I love to see photos of other cities and how they are made over for the holiday season hehehehe...
Here we go: Starting off with my day time pics
Our stars lining up Bourke st... They are so pretty~~~ ... I don't know how many there are but I heard it was in the thousands. This is our traditional decoration down Bourke st for years now and you can never get sick of it :)
Another tradition in Melbourne is our Myer Christmas windows which features mechanical puppet displays. The theme for the windows are based on popular children Christmas story books and changes every year. Check out the line, it's really a scene which most families purposely go out to the city with their children to admire. I've been lining up and overseeing these window displays since I was a child too heheheehe...
Melbourne's huge Christmas tree on the corner of Collins and Swanston st, right next to the Melbourne town hall ...doesn't it just make you feel like it's Christmas~~~~
Something for the kiddies~~~ A post box set up by Australia Post where kids can come ready with their letters to Santa and ready to be sent. This box is right on the side of the above Christmas tree on Collins st... Every letter is read and replied to from Santa so kids' idea of Christmas stays alive, I think this is a great idea. What should I wish for this year??? Hrmm..... haahhahhaahaha....
Christmas displays and Christmas buys at Starbucks hehehehe...
Christmas at night in Melbourne:
These are the same stars which you see in my day time photo but at night they really light up the street.
The same big Christmas tree on Collins but much brighter during the night with Christmas carols playing too.... So Christmas-sy~~~~ Sparkle Sparkle
Another Christmas tree displayed at Crown (Melbourne's Casino) very tall, colourful and bright.... Definitely a great sight for kids :)
Next to the big tree is this merry go round.... with different animals featured on it... definitely purely for viewing and not for riding but still such a grand sight heheheh....
How does your city light up over Christmas? What are the traditions unique to your city over Christmas? I'd love to find out since Christmas is all about sharing hehehehehe....
