Christmas Spirit in Charleston - Part 2

Simple and beautiful door decorations to an Italian Restaurant in Down Town

Do you like window shopping?

"What would the world be without jewelry"?
That's what the sign is telling you

One of all the many, pretty art galleries in down town, dresses up in Christmas spirit

"The old Market" building looks beautiful!

And don't forget to take a look at the Battery Street with all the big houses and their wonderful magic of light and decorations. You think for a short time to be in a fairy land.

Christmas Spirit in Charleston

In Down Town Charleston stays a magnificent big Christmas tree

Beautiful Christmas decorations everywhere you go

And the gifts are ready - outside of the store

My favorite of all Christmas trees I have seen yesterday was here in a Irish Pub

David and I went for a little stroll to catch the Christmas spirit in Down Town of Charleston. I found a lot of pretty and very tastefully decorated stores, coffee shops and buildings. I love to see all the magic of Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve
by Moffatts

You cant believe everything you hear
And only half of what you see
But you cant deny the magic of a christmas tree
It can melt a heart of stone
Bring warmth into a home
Give you strength when your alone on christmas eve
The message is so real
Thats exactly how I feel
For the feelings everywhere on christmas eve

This christmas eve
Hang up your guns
This christmas eve
Aim with your heart
This christmas eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
Theres a child inside of us
Theres a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This christmas eve

Theres a light that shines above
Its a symbol of our love
Like the star upon the tree in our living room
So I believe its true
Its wrapped inside of you
The gift of love comes through on christmas eve

This christmas eve
Hang up your guns
This christmas eve
Aim with your heart
This christmas eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
Theres a child inside of us
Theres a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This christmas eve

This christmas eve
This christmas eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
Theres a child inside of us
Theres a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This christmas eve

Waiting for Christmas

Driving home for Christmas

Driving home for Christmas

(Scroll down and turn on my radio player and listen to this wonderful Christmas song)

I’m driving home for christmas
I can’t wait to see those faces
I’m driving home for christmas
Yea I’m moving down that line
And it’s been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Christmas
***
Gonna take some time
Top to toe in tailbacks
Got red lights on the run
But soon there’ll be a freeway
My feet on holy ground
***
So I sing for you
Though you can’t hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for christmas
With a thousand memories
***
I take look at the driver next to me
He’s just the same
Just the same
***
Top to toe in tailbacks
Got red lights on the run
Driving home for christmas, yea
Get my feet on holy ground
***
So I sing for you
Though you can’t hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
Christmas
Driving in my car
Driving home for christmas

Spirit of Christmas everywhere you go

This very tasteful decorated houses are a feast for your eyes to see them also in day light.

Is this the main Symbol of Christmas ?

Look what I got yesterday...!

Is this the main symbol of Christmas in these times?
It seems everybody is focusing anxiously on spending money that they don't have and going in to debt for the new year. How about you...?

Santa is waiting...

A laid back Key West Santa Claus is waiting at Duval Street.
Where are all your reindeers parked, Santa?

The Christmas Lights are up again

This are three more photographic impressions from my afternoon photo shooting in down town.

Dies sind weitere drei Bilder, die ich an jenem Nachmittag geschossen habe, als ich loszog, ueberall im Staedtchen die herrschende Vorweihnachtsstimmung einzufangen.

Christmas with Humor

A pretty lazy Santa Claus at Duval Street

...while Santa take his nap, his elf has to do all the work.....

And also the Queen is dressed up in Christmas colors, ready for the Party!

All the direction signs to find Santa Claus...

Beside all the tasteful decorations in down town you will find some humoristic one like all these above. They make you smile and I hope you'll enjoy this funny pictures like I did.

Und auch das ist Key West - von seiner humoristischen Seite! Neben all dem geschmackvollen Weihnachtsschmuck in den Strassen und an Haeusern, findet man auch diese humoristischen Sonderlinge. Auf jeden Fall Grund genug zum schmunzeln.
