It really feels more like pre-christmas here than it ever did in Southern California. Somehow blue sky, palm trees and t-shirts never quite went with getting into a christmas mood, despite plenty of lights and Santa Clauses. Well, it might not get to snow in Toulouse either, but it is cold, and people wear coats. You can walk around on the street, look at elaborate window displays, go into warm stores. Feels sort of nostalgic, like old times when we lived in Denmark. I wonder where one gets christmas trees from here, although it is probably too early.

Thanks for sharing the decorated street over there, here its a bit cold (guess we are getting the world snowwind), with rain much during the wee nights, And am trying my best to get my home quickly painted, dinners are always a moments pleasure for us, and don't talk about presents under the tree allllllll waiting to open hehe*

Ho ho, thanks for that, Thomas! Yeah, I was wondering. In the U.S. one gets the tree a long time before christmas, to display it as decoration. But in my family in Denmark, the christmas tree wasn't even shown before christmas eve, having been decorated behind closed doors that afternoon, and it was picked up just the weekend before.
