Don’t let the lack of gifts fool you. The holiday season is still in full swing (for about 48 more hours, giver or take).
This display in Austin, Texas reminds us that we should keep Christmas and/or the holiday of your choice in our hearts, always. Or at least until the credit card bills arrive. Then you can pack it until next year.
How long do you keep your holiday decorations up?

Don’t forget, the holiday magic at Disneyland continues through January 8, 2012. Then these guys go back in the box.
This is a Wordless Wednesday entry. Don’t mind me.

Hello, Santarazzi! The big man was spotted this holiday season doing a bit of elf-free Christmas shopping. This supports my theory that elf culture is devoid of art and/or trinkets. Lots of toys though.
What do you think about Santa Claus shopping outside of the North Pole? Does he deserve to shop like the rest of us (but not online, apparently), or is he spreading doubt about the quality of his own workshop? Leave you views in the comments below!
This month we are featuring Holiday Window Decorations! Normally on Tuesdays we run the UpTake Tuesday Roadside Attractions Series. If you have a photo of an odd, funny or interesting roadside attraction that you would like to see featured here please submit it via the link in the sidebar with subject line: Roadside.

These holiday lights over London’s Regent Street in the famous West End are a simple blanket over the busy town. Many of London’s popular tourist attractions are located along Regent Street and the yearly Christmas light display is a London tradition dating back to the end of World War II when it was safe to be bright again (the decorating began during the war, but consisted mainly of trees and not lighting).
If you find yourself on Regent Street, anytime of year, check out Piccadilly Circus (not an actual circus) and All Souls Church. If you find yourself there during the holidays just look up. That should suffice nicely.
