My work locally promoted Christmas Around the World this month. We bought tickets to take a tour where this lady, who had done this for years, temporarily set up a plethora of displays utilizing the entire second floor of a furniture store. The tour was short, which is great and she allowed us to take pictures while she gave us a lot of historical and cultural information. These were all taken by my Blackberry so focus and lighting were difficult to handle which is why none of these are enlarged.
Star Wars Nutcrackers
Superman, Woody, M&M, Jack Sparrow & Pirates
Multiple countries on every continent were represented but one can only take so many pictures in a short amount of time. So here's just a handful of the ones I liked that turned out pretty well. The following are different styles of Nativity scenes and Christmas ornaments:
Antique collection of Bibles within the United Kingdom section.
A large model ship sitting on a sofa table.
Holland
Tibet
I loved the color of the wood this nativity is carved from.
The Nativity is made of banana fibers. It's completely woven together.
There is a pink umbrella on top of the tree.
This is Noah's Ark representing the theory of the Ark landing in Turkey.
Even though we all come different walks of life and from different religions, it's great to know that the true meaning of Christmas is celebrated around the world. Merry Christmas to you all!!
