Dec. 22, 2016: Christmas Tree, Fashion Island, Newport Beach, CA

Fashion Island is an upscale open-air lifestyle center in Newport Beach, California.  I had the good fortune of visiting Fashion Island a few weeks ago.  As I was exploring this lovely shopping center,  I came across a group of people putting the finishing touches on a beautiful Christmas tree.

What can I say…I love Christmas and all it’s trimmings.  I hail from the Great White North, so it always fascinates me to see decorated Christmas trees in warm climates, especially next to palm trees.

Kudos to Fashion Island and their staff on obtaining and garnishing such an awesome Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas, Ottoman!  Yes, a beautiful tree.  Sadly,  I find the the “green” disclaimer a little off-putting.

Beautiful Christmas Tree indeed. Best I’ve seen since the NYPD chased me with night stick raised in 2002. In Rockefeller Center when they switched on the Christmas lights. Memorable as the best ever Tree Display.

The View North

I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!
