Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all that Yuletide greetings stuff from the team here at Sharing Travel Experiences. Hopefully you’ll enjoy these round-the-world photos, then go out and enjoy your own special holidays.
Paris, France
the peacefulness is disturbed only by the lone Christmas Tree
Ottawa, Canada
the colours are seasonal, but the Parliament in Ottawa is always festive
Brisbane, Australia
just because it’s warm doesn’t mean it can’t be festive
San Antonio, Texas, United States
It looks special, even without all the Christmas cheer
Athens, Greece
It might not be centuries old, but it’s still iconic
Toronto, Canada
What is it about Christmas lights at night that I just can’t get enough of?
Jena, Germany
We could have easily just done a Christmas photo essay of German Christmas markets!
Birmingham, England, United Kingdom
how charming!
Viseu, Portugal
gorgeous!
Dufferin Island, Niagara Falls, Canada
reminds me of our photo essay reflections, but Christmas-ised!
Zurich, Switzerland
that’s the Christmas spirit!
Hong Kong, China
Ah…Hong Kong will always be Hong Kong
Jerusalem, Israel
Christmas in Jerusalem, of course
Cape Town, South Africa
I don’t know what they represent, but they look very festive!
Bethlehem
FYI, a ‘museum’ is just another name for store

Fabulous! Thanks for sharing, it’s so interesting to see how Christmas is celebrated in different cultures, and I loved the theme of the lights. Did you know that in Bethlehem the post office is open Christmas Eve, so you can send anyone (even yourself) a postcard or letter stamped December 24th?
Thanks everyone – I did indeed have a good Christmas and hope you did too.
And Lisa, what a great idea – every country should do that.
I like the Paris photo the best
Me too, Matt…just because it’s simple yet elegant, perhaps?
