It's Christmas Time, Once Again,,, Wait its over???

Its been nearly a week since the passing of the grandest holiday in the world. I would like to share with you all a slice of it from an American point of view. I took a trip to the best place to describe Christmas here, some local shopping malls. I was a tad bit lazy, so I only went to two malls instead of the several I had in mind.

I went to the top two local malls for Christmas. I know it sounds kind of odd, but these are the two places that can make it happen. Oddly enough, they are the two malls that have all the stores with the expensive items. Well, it actually makes a bit of sense now that I think about it. These two malls are South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa and Fashion Island in Newport Beach. Unfortunately, it was a few days after that maniac security guard shot like 50 rounds from his firearm. It ended up being a bit boring.

Sorry, by the end I was a bit bored with taking Christmas pictures that day and just got whatever looked interesting.

How is Christmas done where you live?

Great photos as always!! I really love the sago palm leaves, and the white branches! The mini figurines were pretty cool too... Heck they are all cool!! We live nearly in the same place, so it's pretty much the same here!! ;-) Have a FANTASTIC NEW YEAR!!! The coming year is going to be even more fantastic than 2012!!!

Hey Nat! I hope you and Angel have a great new year as well. I'm going to make next year better than the last year, even though most of last year was pretty good. Stay safe tonight! :-)

Wicked set of photos... plenty of red! The way they are focused or something really makes me wish I had that kind of eye. A number of those shots at the top would definitely make good Christmas cards.

The Japanese sago palm and the koi are pretty nice too.

The koi pond at that mall was one of my favorite places as a kid.

I still have no clue most of the time why I like the images I take. I just know when I get the crappy ones. :-)

Is #19 near South Coast Plaza?
Also #12 wtf, a Christmas zebra? That's great! I saw a Christmas dolphin, flamingo and Samurai on someones lawn in Pismo. I should have taken a picture.
# 3 is my favorite shot of the bunch.

I intended on photographing my mall and thereabouts during the decorated season but I never got around to doing it. Maybe next year!

The first 14 were all from South Coast Plaza. #s 8, 11, and 12 were all taken from the carousel room. The Zebra was the coolest out of all the mock carousel animals surrounding the room on the 2nd floor. If they had a flamingo, that would have been even BETTER!! :-)

The mall is the best place to see the decorations, but next year, hopefully I will have a better lens and I will go around taking pictures of peoples houses.
