~ Hong Kong – Treemendously Magical Moments ~

December in Hong Kong is always magical and this year is no exception. Every shop, hotel, bank and restaurant has a tree up, most of them real too. We have been out and about the last few days and I have been snapping away at some of the trees and decorations on offer this year. 

We have also been lucky with the weather. Normally it’s quite cool adding to that Christmas feeling but this year I have been walking around in t-shirts and linen pants.

This is the hotel where we are staying for five nights, a change of district for us this year.

Hong Kong always has the most amazing lights on the sides of the buildings, these are just a few.

I wonder if this is real gingerbread!
Quirky and Weird!

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. …

    2. What a perfect post to share the colors of red and green, Ali! Hong Kong really knows how to show off the holiday spirit! My friend is from Hong Kong and lives in the area. She takes the train into work and says it’s dazzling to see the downtown transformed every year. Enjoy the warm weather!

    6. Merry Christmas, Ali! Thank you for sending some magic across the world for us – we have nothing like this where I live! And Dahl’s quote is one of my favourites ever.

      • Thanks Meg, yes me too. They are from a shelter and a volunteer brought them into Central
        Right on the side of a busy road. I had to step between cars to take the photo. I made sure I left a donation

    14. Such beautiful and festive photos. I love this time of the year as Christmas waves a magic wand over this world… and everything becomes more beautiful and magical! There is a reason why many anticipate the arrival of December all year long for everything this beautiful month entails. Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful day 🙂 Aiva xx

    15. Beautiful decorations – the tree in your hotel is fabulous! I’m glad you’re getting warm weather 🙂 I heard the north of China is bitterly cold at the moment and the chill is heading south, but hopefully you’ll be home by then!

    19. So festive, so bright and shiny. puts me in the holiday mood. The trees are fabulous. I have to say I love the gingerbread house. I’m not sure it is real, but oh how delicious it would smell. the Hermes quirky photo is definitely a stopper. Great marketing.
