Getting Sparkly for Christmas!

Paris is ready for Christmas!

 The bright lights on all the Avenues and monuments are
twinkling and festive

I came across these lovely scenes today and thought you'd like to see.

 The charming side streets with their petite vignettes (complete with scooters)
never fails to call out the Christmas spirit in even the most confirmed of scrooges.




Creativity usually runs full speed here, but even more so at this time. 

These gorgeous displays are in the covered shopping market near my place.


Now that's what I call a chandelier!


Camera is ready to capture all the pretty things of the season
as I'm out and about!

Stay tuned for more holiday cheer!


Put a Little Ooh La La in Your Life!

What wonderful pictures. Thank you for sharing with us. I wish we could find the simplicity of Christmas lights here in America instead of way-over-done-power-station kind of thing.
