I love Christmas time, don’t you? I know there is a lot of commercialization around it, which I don’t like but I can’t help myself feeling joy inside as I am surrounded by Christmas lights and even the December chill and wearing boots and coats and eating really deliciously and giving gifts. Ok, I admit I also enjoy receiving gifts. Oh and of course Christmas trees! There is something just so wonderful about having a real tree in your home.
I also like the feeling around Christmas, I feel like people exude a really joyful energy around town.
Christmas is pretty widely celebrated around the world, and for me, Germany takes the take with their absolutely amazing Christmas markets. I’d love to go there during this time one day. But so many other places have some pretty extravagant Christmases too. See some below:
GERMANY
MEXICO – Mexico City
USA – NYC
RUSSIA – Moscow
UK – London
Where are you spending Christmas this year?
I love Christmas too! It looks so nice with the backdrop of those old buildings. I wish we had more of them here in Calgary.
Awww….love this time of year! Lovely post!
I agree, Mani! It seems that everyone is anti-Christmas this year, but I personally love the holiday with its food, carols, winter chill, and general sense of goodwill.
Right? I’m glad the spirit is still out there. We probably shouldn’t have it for the wrong reasons, but I think we still should.
What a wonderful collection of photos! We will be home in Canada this year over the holidays.
Winter time in Moscow is Top 10 of my bucket list, for sure! It looks SO beautiful, I hope to get there soon!
Cheers!
Thanks for the global highlights! While I love a warm weather Christmas, the sparkling European markets look so beautifully appealing this time of year. One day…
Thanks for sharing great pictures putting me in the Christmas mood! 🙂 I am actually spending Christmas close to Santa this year, above the arctic circle! Can’t wait:)
Oh wow! Happy holidays! Say hi to Santa 😉
Great collection of photos from around the world, Mani. It was lovely to see all the different decorations from different cities (and continents!) Happy holidays to you!

Totally! Next time 🙂

Such a lovely post! I really do like Christmas in Germany as that is where I was born so we have kept some German traditions in our house. This year M will be coming to my family home to celebrate his first non-nepali Christmas! 🙂 Christmas really is a coming together of cultures all over the world 🙂
