Christmas windows of Boulevard Haussmann in Paris 2015
 
Christmas is just a month away, so it's time to start thinking about it no matter what else is happening in the world. I have done my usual review of the window decorations in the department stores of Boulevard Haussmann and provide it for you to decide how the stores compare. In any case, they spare no expense.

How lovely, kerouac - to see something so beautiful and positive out of Paris makes a welcome change from the events of previous days.

I vote for Printemps; pretty and imaginative is my idea of a great Christmas theme.

Thanks for posting, Di

Thanks! Need to get around and see these.

Thanks, Kerouac. Do you know if the lights are lit yet on the Champs? We have read it was postponed......

kerouac Nov 24th, 2015 10:57 AM

On now. They cancelled the ceremony, not the lights.

Traviata Nov 24th, 2015 11:28 AM

Thank you!

Thanks Kerouac...

I remember fondly looking at those Christmas windows and having a delicious dinner full of apples at nearby Pomze.

So festive! Thank you for sharing those!

We walked a bit on Sunday down the Champs Elsyee...lights on and crowds.

Kerouac, as always thanks for posting something so interesting.

I love Printemps but the Star Wars themed windows leave me cold, particularly right now. I keep walking near Macy's and some of the other shops here in NY but I haven't crossed the road to brave the crowds!

Beautiful! Thanks!!

Thanks Kerouac! Always look forward to seeing this post. This year, I especially appreciate the post as I can't come to Paris for Christmas ( I spent all my vacation money in Italy). My husband will be so bummed to have missed those Star Wars windows! I LOVE the Galleries Lafayette tree!

All my best to you, your friends and family. I am sure it's been a stressful time but I am glad to see this ongoing tradition continue.

Thanks to all of you.

Your Time & effort to bring a happy slice of Paris to us who can't be there is much appreciated.
A very merry holiday to you & yours
