I need to take a good picture of those large red ornamental balls on the fountain, too. I love those!! :D

Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney's Hollywood Studios - every year in December, and really really nice, at least it feels a little bit like Xmas:evil:

Tindomul, I was looking for many many years to be in NY right around the xmas time, and see in my imagination spectacular decorations everywhere. Such a disappointment for me, when I went to NY for the first time in winter:-( It still feels more Christmasy in NY than here in Miami for sure, and I went there many time during Christmas since that first time, however I can honestly say that any European city beats NY in decoration 100x times:-))) Let me not even start about these sweet street markets in Paris, or Vienna or Prague with hot wine cooked with sugar and cinnamon sticks, fresh baked goodies, polish sausage "euro" hotdogs with anything you can imagine on the top:-) I think that's what I miss the most from Europe, our Christmas!

Wow, they go nuts with decorations by you guys. Nice stuff!

I have to agree. In Colombia at Christmas time, its just a riot of lights and colour and nativity scenes, and everything else. In comparison, it is kinda dull around here.

The best part about that is that there is awesome music synchronized with the light shows, mostly Trans-Siberian Orchestra plus famous Christmas songs, it is really nice to see:-) Here in Miami, every single palm tree has the lights already since November:-)

True about some European cities. :)

NYC, as dull as it is, is still probably the best in the US as other places are basically just big ol same house with similar boring Wal Mart bought decorations everywhere! lol

I think it's mostly just some expensive stores along 5th avenue, and a few nice department store show window displays, and a few corporate buildings on the 6th avenue. that's about it. :yawn:

enough for me, though. :)

True true Tindomul, unfortunately Christmas in the USA is very commercialized and all about shopping. It is very different back in home, we do care more about traditions at this holiday time, every family is baking whole December traditional Christmas cookies, decorating inside and outside the house, and than during xmas itself keeping centuries old traditions, traditional foods and treats, it is very different than here:-) I have never ever felt like xmas in Florida, it is also our hot weather, no snow. BUT I do keep Czech traditions, and I am already baking our traditional cookies, the first finished are linzer tart cookies, very traditional Czech cookie, will follow by chocolate rum balls, rum punch truffles and from Scandinavia nut rolls made from cream cheese dough:-) And of course, home made eggnog with our European rum (rum in Europe is made from potatoes, totally different flavor:-)))))!

I spent one Christmas in Ft. Lauderdale and it was pretty much typical US town in Christmas without snow. lol

kind of like many towns in Cali.
