Here's the Macys Store in Union Square all dec'd out. My Mom counted 60-some (68?) wreaths in these windows. In front of the store is our cable car that we had such a blast on! Love all it's festive lights!
Mom on the holiday lights cable car. This was pre-santa hats and crazy Christmas caroling. Little did we know what we were in for. Once the hats got passed out and the caroling book we decided to go all in. Nothing quite like touring the streets and holiday lights of San Francisco in our cheesy hats while belting out carols that EVERYONE was singing. We got lots of laughs from those on the street seeing this cable car go by. One thing that made this especially festive...the drunk santas! Yep, earlier in the day there was a santa pub crawl so by evening as we were touring the streets we encountered lots of 'happy' santas and inappropriately dressed elves who hooted and hollered with us! So stinkin' hilarious!
Tree at the Fairmont Hotel. Their lobby was absolutely gorgeous!
This is a real gingerbread house. Stats:
*22 feet high by 12 1/2 feet wide and 10 1/2 feet deep
*5500 pieces of gingerbread
*850 pounds of royal icing
*425 pounds of candy
*8 gallons of chocolate
It took 160 hours to construct the framework and 375 hours creating the gingerbread house.
Thanks, Mom! I can't wait until Kaitlyn can join us for memorable times like this one!
