Calgary got a fresh dump of snow last week, as shown above, and the weather has since gone into extra-deep-freeze territory … so I doubt these chairs on 3 St. S.W. downtown will be put to good use anytime soon!

… except for the guy standing on the sidewalk taking a picture of a Christmas tree. 😉 Merry Christmas and best wishes of the season to all.

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.

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. 🤣
