The shops seem to start their Christmas displays earlier and earlier each year. The lights in Grafton Street were switched on last Friday evening and the Brown Thomas windows unveiled. Brown Thomas (an Irish department store) has a tradition of special window displays each Christmas. Past themes that I can remember are the Circus and Narnia. This year the theme is scenes from the Ballet. As this is a subject I enjoy I'm posting a few photographs I took of some of the displays earlier today.
I also really love this elephant in a window on the side of the store (Wicklow Street) advertising a famous designer brand. It brightens up my walk to work!
The next photo is a little blurry - I tried to take a picture of the puppets inside Bewley's Cafe higher up on Grafton Street. I still decided to include it to give some idea of what the (musical) display looks like.
And of course the Disney Store. Minnie is rotating so this one was a bit trickier than it looks.
Nature is capable of putting on a lovely display as well. This little holly in the garden at Dublin Castle looks just like a Christmas tree with its decoration of berries.
