Juliet's Christmas tree

I haven't posted any Christmas trees this year but I do have a few nice pics and this is one of them. This is certainly the most unusual of Christmas trees and it couldn't have been more appropriate! Love notes and letters decorate the tree below Juliet's balcony.

Christmas' last shot

I promise: this will be the last one of Christmas 2009. It's already eleven days into the new year and we still have Christmas lights, Nativity scenes, trees and all sorts of Christmas decoration.

I still have our tree in the sitting room because I haven't got anywhere near putting it back in its box for next december...

So, I hope you don't mind enjoying the Christmas lights a little bit longer...

Lights and drizzle

Piazza Erbe, Christmas Eve.

Christmas trick!

Can you see that stick between the base and the top of the tree? It's the arm of the guy that was trying to catch and secure the top to the base...

Sunny morning

A very sunny morning. Piazza Bra is ready for Christmas: the Comet Star on the Arena (you can see the higher bit behind the trees), the merry go round (red and white pointy tent) and the Christmas tree (actually, two), and, finally, the sweets kiosks, just arrived. Passing by, you can smell the "croccante", the "zucchero filato" and "torrone". 

A flock of pigeons clearly smelled some bits that had been spilled on the pavement and flew down. I was a bit late with my camera and "caught" only one of them!...
