'Twas the Night Before the Night Before Christmas




Today was why I love this city.  The weather was cold and very sunny!   It's 0 C right now but it's going down to -4 C.  Snow is on the way!

We decided to go to Canada Place.  They have a wonderful Christmas display along with Fly Over Canada that takes you on a journey to the North Pole!  On our way through Delta there were snow geese grazing on the farms.  This is the 30th annual Christmas at Canada Place presented by the Port of Vancouver.  If you sailed on a cruise ship from Vancouver, you would have departed from Canada Place.


We went inside to warm up!
This moose lights up at night.  There are thousands of lights that turn on at dusk!
Anyone living in Vancouver from 1902 to 1993 would go to the famous Toy Department to visit Santa
It was in downtown Vancouver at Hastings and Abbott.


The wonderful Woodward's window displays are shown every year at Canada Place
All the displays were awesome and brought back many memories
