Wow, blue hula hoops! It's very striking to look at, but not exactly a Christmas look. Oh well, it's Paris----beautiful under any circumstances.

Thank you Kerouac, very nice!

Thank you!

Kerouac, thanks for sharing your wonderful Christmas shots. It whets our enthusiasm for our upcoming trip!

Super. They rather look like hula hoops, eh?

Would love to be there - Thanks for the pictures

kerouac, merci bien for yet another visual vacation. You rock!

We were just there and thought that the blue light displays on the Champs Elysee looked like something from the Jetsons.

JETSONS...
The Jetsons is a animated American sitcom that was produced by Hanna- Barbera, originally airing in prime-time from 1962–1963 and again from 1985– 1987. ...

denisea..2012 is coming up in 3 1/2 weeks LOL...

kerouac, why the change in identity, may I ask?

Ten, he hasn't. Serge copied this from the forum Kerouac sponsors. Any port in the Storm. I asked K to put the Christmas windows here first, maybe it fell on deaf ears or maybe he is working on it. Meanwhile after see a dozen glimpses of the windows, I agree with something i read that they had nothing to do with Christmas. Not the best
show as other years.

Sorry all -- I am super busy with a family visit that is keeping me off the internet for the time being. There is almost nothing on that Christmas link yet, but I will get back to it as soon as possible.

And to think I just decorated the tree outside my U.S. home in the former style of the Champs-Elysees. Agree that the new look is cold and technocratic, not Christmasy at all. I hope they get a lot of complaints and go back.

Thanks for posting the link. I have to say I don't think we'll beat a path to see the blue light displays while there for Christmas.

Hmm, they look like any light display,, very commerical,,could be for any reason or any season, not Christmasy at all.. kind of cold.

They aren't actually blue lights, BeachGirl -- they are every color at different times. The biggest problem that I have seen is large segments being out of order at various times. I can't really put the blame on them, because it can't be easy to keep 2 kilometers of electrical cable synchronized at all times on both sides of the street. Basically, they bit off more than they can chew.

I have added a few more things to my thread, but since my family visit just left today, I have much more work to do.

We arrive the 22nd for our 1st ever visit to Paris at christmas. We are so excited. Every time someone comes even remotely near me that has a sniffle or cough at work I remind them I am about to leave and break out the hand sanitizer.

Thanks, kerouac! Great work, as usual!
