After a Hanukkah post, it’s time for Christmas. I don’t celebrate Christmas, but boy do I love all the trappings of the season. I was visiting my friend in Irvine, one of our stops was Rogers Gardens, a lovely nursery – so festive!
I couldn’t stop taking pictures of ornaments. Love the shades of green here. Also, nice that it became something of a selfie.
The trees were done up in color schemes. This Turquoise one popped out among the darker ornaments.
Pantone has chosen ultraviolet as their color of the year. I will be working with all kinds of purple, not necessarily this one. I think this is about as ultraviolet as one can get.
A hot air balloon in honor of my friend Clayton.
Love these Chinese jars! 
The key was on the gold tree.
Ahhh! Can’t get over the opulence and festivity of it.
This is the white and pale pastels.
Love the paper bird and flower.
Red is a must, Candy stripes even more so.
How about pink? Yes, there is another ultraviolet one as well.
The embroidered look.
Along with the lights that shine so bright on the homes around me, I just love the exuberance of Christmas decorations.
