Market Friday its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

A post for Market Friday hosted by Hive account@dswigle, if you haven't followed her yet you should she is one of the kindest and most supportive people here on Hive, a comment from her is like a ray of sunshine on your page.
This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.

For this weeks post, I am again in the Dartmouth mall where I go most mornings these days to get my steps in, and knowing how much Denise likes Christmas, I thought why not share a few shots of some of the festive decorations in the mall, now not as fancy as those I saw each year in NYC, but still a Christmas feel which I know is her favorite time of the year.

Starting with this shot of the little grotto in the mall where people can have photos taken with Sant, well not just people but will get to that later

OK here is one of two rare selfies of me one of the window displays by a jewelry shop in the mall, and you can faintly make me out in the background

and another window and semi selfie, these windows make me think of the Tiffany Windows in NYC, I must admit I do not miss my walks around NYC as much as I thought I would when I retired, I think after stopping working there I have slipped back into the country boy I grew up as and don't miss the big city much at all, but I will admit perhaps what I miss most is the yearly tradition catching all the trees and festive displays
