First Big Christmas Decorations

Last night I saw this first big public Christmas decoration in my neighborhood. It wasn't turned on yet... but they must have put it in yesterday because it wasn't up the night before! The stores have their Christmas displays up in Piazza Bausan...



I am excited to go downtown and see the big Christmas stuff down there, and for these lights to get turned on! (For those who don't speak Italian, the sign says auguri, which is basically "best wishes" in Italian. It's a phrase you use for people's birthdays, too, not just for Christmas.)
