Christmas eve in Sydney

So school's out and we are finally on school holidays. Lots of end of school stuff went on last week, but it all seems a long time ago now, and we are finally getting into the Christmas spirit.

Today I was at the fish and fruit markets at 7.30am buying the salmon and prawns and salads and fruit for tomorrow. With that all finished by 8.30am, it left a pretty long day ahead of us. So the girls and I caught up with friends, jumped on a bus into the city with the main aim of visiting the David Jones Christmas display windows.

It became a fun festive adventure, wandering through the busy city. Here are some photos from our day.

Martin Place Christmas tree:

Martin Place is looking very festive with the stars and banners:

Pitt Street Mall had these groovy Christmas trees:

Bush firemen:

The bush fire service Santa was also found in Pitt Street Mall:

Free Hugs man.... (if you don't know about him, see HERE):

We did make it to David Jones. The window story this year was The Nutcracker:

Beer Bottle Busker (see him HERE, but today he was playing Christmas songs outside St James Station):

Lindt Cafe (a trip to the city is not complete without a stop here):

The girls decided to try their luck at busking in York Street while waiting for the bus home. They sang the same Christmas song over and over and collected $2.15 between them.

I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous and healthy new year.

Enjoy the holiday season.

Until 2008
