Wreath Lover

Yet another place that still has its decorations up after Christmas! I walk by this building all the time and not until the wreaths were put up did I notice how tall and narrow the building is.

Holding onto the Holidays

It's been a crazy busy month and I'm finally back to posting on the blog. This shot was taken at the beginning of January. I'm not sure if this wreath has been taken down yet, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's still up there since no-one seems to be following the superstitious tradition of removing decorations on the twelfth night.

All is calm, all is bright

Throughout the holidays, Downtown Crossing has a lot going on. There's a petting zoo on the weekends (I don't know what exactly there is to pet and how impressive it is, but I've seen the signs), and there's musical entertainment throughout the week. Whit has already shown you the New Liberty Jazz Band, and I enjoyed these strolling carolers during my lunch break one day last week.

Fairy Lights

Here's a shot of all the trees lit up with fairy lights along the middle of Commonwealth Avenue. For those of you unfamiliar with the term fairy lights, many countries use it to refer to white Christmas lights.

Bostonia

Sorry for the delay in posting, folks! This time of year tends to get a little crazy and we've fallen behind on posting. The above picture is a wintry shot of the Boston Gardens.

The New Liberty Jazz Band

The New Liberty Jazz Band was jamming away in dowtown crossing at lunchtime today. They attracted a large and varied audience including some traditionally dressed carolers.

All Strung Up!

Yesterday I walked down the middle of Commonwealth Ave. and watched the trees being strung with lights. The lights signal the beginning of the holiday season...as does Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Christmas is here...

...even though Thanksgiving hasn't even come yet! Here's the Boylston St entrance to the Prudential Center all dressed up.
