I really like Christmas time. Here, we head into our summer holidays where we are forced to not work (for once!), Christmas lights adorn the city centre and shopping centres and I look forward to lunches complete with fresh prawns, cold ham and summer fruits. I think I’m drawn to all the lights, it’s a shame we don’t do that normally in winter here.
I’d much prefer a winter Christmas, but it seems I’m in the wrong hemisphere. So instead, I’ve picked out some photos from Christmas travel’s past and have also shared what Christmas is looking like in Sydney this year.
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light- Dumbledore
Christmas in Sydney 2020
What is Christmas looking like in your part of the world? If you’ve written a post already or are inspired to post one, please link me in the comments below. I’d love to armchair travel this December.

Gorgeous to see Wroclaw in its Xmas garb.
Lovely images, have to say it took me a beat to spot the Christmas tree. Those beautiful blooms capture the eye.
Thank you!
This brought back memories of a Christmas in Sydney a few years ago, so different to the European ones. I love the jacaranda trees and the Christmas tree in the Queen Victoria building. I wrote a blog on last Christmas in Europe a little while ago: https://wattleandmimosa.wordpress.com/2020/07/06/christmas-in-europe/
Thank you for sharing!
The Christmas tree in Cologne looks magnificent! Here in South East Asia, we also don’t have white Christmas. But that doesn’t stop us from celebrating this festival. Lots of decorations and events for this season 🙂
Hope you get some good pics Len! Would love to see what’s happening in that part of the world this month.
I love Christmas for all the light and festive atmosphere – a few years ago I spent it in Brazil (on the beach!!) and it definitely didn’t have the same vibe, but I loved it nonetheless! Your pictures bring back so many nice memories! 😊
Oh how different it must have been! I guess we’re all so use to our own seasonal Christmas’s. Thank you!
Beautiful collection of Christmas decoration pictures from many places
Thank you Maria!
Ah, lovely. Out little family also prefer the cold for this season. We would have been in London if not for …. But never mind, we will enjoy what we can. Here’s a peek at what the streets are looking like for us in Singapore:

Visited Wroclaw 5 years ago, beautiful place!
It is! I think I was also there around 5 years ago- how time flies.
Flies a bit too fast, even in 2020 haha!
