Picture in your mind, (you will have to, because I cannot upload photos yet), large groups of poinsettias, (Noche Buena), so many, in fact, on slightly mounded berms of black dirt, that you can see them more than a block away.
These are planted all around the neighborhoods here- interspersed around the palm tree bases, around the lilies, and around, and among the other, indigenous vegetation as well.
If you read the post around Halloween, where I had photos of the mounds of marigolds, now, those same spaces are filled with beautiful red poinsettias. Everywhere you look the beautiful red color is there, to be seen, and admired.
There are beautiful, huge decorations in all of the malls, as well- inside and out. The tree inside Liverpool is something to behold. It is a huge teepee-shaped “tree” with a sweater-like decoration for the face. It has reindeer, and zigzagging, as well as huge snowflakes on the façade. I really hoped I could show you in photos but, alas, not yet. I know- it looks like a beautiful knit sweater that your favorite person bought, or made, for you. It is simply…… amazing.
I hope you enjoy getting your personal places ready for the holidays and, in doing that, it brings you the joy of the season.
