Colourful x-mas 2008

I really appreciate the "German x-mas-time" but must admit that the kind of funky chistmas decoration here in Canada has its own charme. The following pictures I took at the "Festival of Lights" at VanDusen Park, Vancouver. The only disappointing thing was the hot cacao with marshmellows!!! which we had to buy (they didn't have a nice "Gluehwein"..). As I celebrated christmas in Germany I flew out on Friday, 19th - exactly two days before they closed Vancouver airport for 48 hours because of too much snow and arriving snow storms...lucky me! Hope you all had a wonderful christmas and some relaxing days.
