San Francisco, California

Always green … but not quite an evergreen! This succulent and Christmas tree combo was spotted in San Francisco’s Union Square last week.

This gingerbread-man ornament looks perfectly happy adorning this Christmas tree at a downtown Calgary shopping centre.

Christmas, Portland, Oregon

One of the ornaments lining the bar-seating counter at the hostel in Portland. Quickly snapped during a visit last week. (I can’t believe it was only last week!)

A snowy owl stuffy is perched atop one of a number of Christmas trees decorating (or is that decking?) the halls of The Core shopping centre in downtown Calgary.

Christmas, Portland, Oregon

This army of Santas was spotted last seek in a storefront just off Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon. I haven’t yet decided whether this display is adorable or mildly frightening. 🤣

Christmas in Kensington

Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood all decked out for the season. I snapped this photo right before we were gifted a white Christmas! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

O Christmas Tree

It’s definitely feeling like Christmas inside this downtown Calgary shopping centre … and the Christmas tree looks so much more grand after the stores close and the tree has the mall almost to itself.

Festive wind trees

These “wind trees” are installed on Stephen Avenue in Calgary, between 2 and 3 St. S.W. near Bankers Hall and The Core shopping centre, to help reduce the wind tunnel effect from all the tall buildings in the area. They’re current lit in seasonal colours.
