Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas everyone! I wanted to share with you some pictures of Christmas trees around the world. I thought it was interesting to see...
This first pic is of the world's largest x-mas tree display that rises up the slopes of Monte Ingino outside of Gubbio, in Italy. It is made up of about 500 lights connected by 40,000 feet of wire. The 'tree' is a modern marvel for an ancient city.
Even in it's humblest attire, aglow beside a tiny chapel in Germany's Karwendel mountains, a Christmas tree is a wondrous site.
Venice's Murano Island is home to the tallest glass tree in the world. Sculpted by master glass blower Simone Cenedese, the artist Christmas tree is a modern reflection of the holiday season.
A Christmas tree befitting Tokyo's nighttime neon display is projected onto the exterior of the Grand Prince Hotel.
In Paris, even the Christmas trees are chic! With its monumental dome, plus 10 stories of lights and high fashion, it's no surprise this show-stopping department stores draws more visitors than the Eiffel Tower.
Moscow celebrates Christmas according to the Russian Orthodox calendar on Jan. 7th.
Now, coming back home...the capitol tree in Washington, D.C., is decorated with 3,000 ornaments that are the handiwork of U.S. schoolchildren.
Finally, my personal favorite of the pics is from an unknown location.
I hope you all enjoyed! ~S
