Festive Christmas Photos - two themed decorated Christmas trees at a Christmas tree festival
A photo collection of Christmas decorations from assorted December travels

I love Christmas decorations. It is uplifting to see creative displays, festive trees, and beautiful lights. Because of travel and gathering restrictions and advisories due to COVID-19, the holiday season will be different for many people this year, but we can still enjoy the decorations, be they in our own homes, on yards and building exteriors in our neighbourhoods, or at special safe exhibitions. It is also nice to remember the various Christmas displays we’ve seen over the years. In this post, I share a collection of Christmas decoration photos I’ve taken at home and on travels during the Christmas season.

Christmas Displays

Fairytale vignettes used to be part of the annual Christmas display at the Eaton’s downtown store in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The store no longer exists, but the vignettes are displayed seasonally at the Children’s Museum in Winnipeg.

    1. Linda, I miss them too. Those puppies were full of character and love. I still expect one of them to come racing into the kitchen when I accidentally drop a piece of food. And I still hesitate to leave bags of groceries (or anything else) on the floor for longer than a few seconds – I gotten so used their prying noses rifling through everything.

    1. Ken, I’ve actually decided not to put up a tree this year but I have put out enough other decorations for it to feel festive. I do think, however, that a lot of people are doubling down on decorations this year.

    1. Tam, I’m glad you enjoyed the photos. I personally don’t decorate much for the other seasons, but I too love seeing the decorations and the creativity of displays.
