...Everywhere I go.
No joke, the entire downtown square -- Place de Gaulle -- in Antibes is shut down to traffic. The bus had to let me off about 200 meters from the station because these huge orange municipal work trucks were stringing lights and garland from the trees!! (See photo above)
I've already said that we've had Christmas tree-, ornament-, and star-shaped lights in the trees since October, but now they're pulling out all the stops and stringing lights together to connect the trees and create a sort of canopy overhead.
And I like it.
My nearest grocery store has closed down two aisles to accomodate all kinds of Christmas goodies. However, despite my attempts, I can't even do it any justice to explain the sight. Maybe I'll snap some pictures later on... But seriously, they put See's candies to shame. HUGE train- and tree-shaped boxes of Lindt chocolates and the Ferraro Rocher candies, mmmmm!
Usually I have Christmas sounds on my iPod (courtesy of the Elf soundtrack) and I'll skip over them. But seeing all these decorations is getting me in the Christmas spirit! This morning on the bus, I let my Christmas songs run through on the random playlist. And what, we're only a month and a half away?
