I spent Saturday wandering about looking at Christmas windows, etc.... I started the day at a downtown shopping centre called Eaton Centre:

***Taller, Better*** · December 10th, 2012, 07:07 PM

Then, I went outdoors to check out the windows at the big Hudson's Bay department store:

they have lovely animated old fashioned Christmas windows every year:

Apparently a couple is dancing upstairs!!

even the mice downstairs are tucked into their beds!

While looking at this window, a man beside me said to his girlfriend:
"Let's go for dessert now"! hehe....

Toronto's Old City Hall across the street:

Nativity scene:

and then next to it, the New City Hall (called "new" but built in the late '50's):

you can rent skates:

Canadians just love to skate:

then over to Yonge Street, where I wandered North to Yonge/Dundas Square:

Great, very nice Christmas photos

I love the christmas window displays - they appeal to the child in all of us - magical.

***Taller, Better*** · December 11th, 2012, 04:39 AM

Thanks to both of you for looking at my pictures!

After that, I took a stroll down Bloor Street to look at shop windows:

***Taller, Better*** · December 11th, 2012, 04:39 AM

***Taller, Better*** · December 11th, 2012, 04:40 AM

I was walking past this lovely 1879 Anglican Church, and noticed an invitation outside
to come in out of the cold and watch the Christmas Concert. I can't resist Christmas concerts, so in I popped:

The concert was great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the Brass Band, playing such old
favourites as Coventry Carol, and The Holly and The Ivy, etc....

Outside again, and this time to continue my saunter along Bloor Street.

I don't think they are dancing, TB!

Great photos as always!

***Taller, Better*** · December 11th, 2012, 05:31 AM

Thanks, guys!!

Hehe.. they were swirling around in circles, but I just so happened to capture the shadows in a rather **ahem** compromising position!

***xzmattzx*** · December 11th, 2012, 07:32 PM

Great pictures! I love seeing the window displays that you photograph at Christmastime. Does the Hudson's Bay Company mix things up a little bit every year? I seem to remember the mice in the matchboxes from another year. Maybe that's just one thing that's the same, as I don't really recall anything else familiar.

And what's you're excuse for this one? Let's face it! You're turning into a dirty old man! There is no denying it!

***Taller, Better*** · December 11th, 2012, 09:35 PM

I certainly hope not!! I found the scene un-bear-ably cute!

You found the polar bear sitting down feeling up the one standing up un-bear-ably cute?
