Anticipating Christmas 2012

1-Dec-2012 • San Mateo, California United States

Year after year, I vow to take pictures of the different images of Christmas in the San Francisco Bay Area. The following pictures were taken last November 2012, roughly a couple of weeks away from Thanksgiving. I told myself that 2012 was going to be different in that I really was going to be able to take pictures of the beautiful and colorful holiday decorations around. I guess I was successful given that I was able to do exactly that and more. Here we were in Hillsdale Mall, window shopping. I was particularly excited to see the decorations being set up and placed all around the mall.

I just can't wait for Christmas!
