Approaching Christmas

Photobucket

The Holiday season is filled with tradition. At this time of year, we hold fast to our cultural tradition and practices that are ages-old or are family rituals.   At times we broaden the tradition by adding our own touches.  A few years ago a friend and I began the tradition of getting our Christmas shopping underway by taking time to go to lunch and later shop for the rest of the afternoon.  I’ve always enjoyed this special day.

We started off with lunch at a special café.  Later, we enjoyed viewing the beautifully designed Christmas displays.

I caught a glimpse inside Holt Renfrew.

Tiffany's is decorated with fir and cedar.

Everyone could use a Louis Vuitton bag. I can't get enough of seeing the colour orange this year. It's warming in the cold.

For lasting pleasure, nothing is better than a diamond tennis bracelet from Birks.
