If you're in town, you can view Pasadena's Christmas tree in person (or in tree, as the case may be). It stands in the entryway to City Hall. I recommend you visit after dark when the lights are most spectacular.I don't think the city of Pasadena would mind if I wish you a merry Christmas on its behalf.
Merry Christmas! And thanks for visiting, virtually or otherwise. May your days be merry and bright.
Great Photo, again, P. For your greatest hits album.

Peace on earth amongst men & women, & Happy Christmass 2 you & the 2 men in your life, B & J!
We always have an old-fashioned Christmas tree at City Hall instead of the overdecorated department store style. Nice photo, Petrea.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, everyone!
Petrea, Merry Christmas to you. A lovely shot of this tree. I don't usually care for bluish trees, but this one is truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteawesome shot Petrea. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteNow that's quite an image. I like the blue lights and how the arched stone work (looks like stone anyway) frames the tree.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot.
Merry Christmas wonderful Petrea.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteHave a very happy holiday season, Miss Petrea...

A beautiful Christmas photo. Merry Christmas Petrea!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue on white! Merry merry Christmas to you too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo. Thank you. Hey, I read that in 1909 Pasadena had one of the nation's first community Christmas trees lit by electric lights.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tree! And the ceiling looks a little like Union Station in Washington DC. Have a delightful rest of your Christmas!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo!
ReplyDeleteOur most heartfelt well-wishes to you.
Peace.
Merry Christmas,Petrea! Your photo is magnificent. You must have gotten down on your belly to get that shot! Best wishes to you and your family on this magical day.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the enormous flowers on the barrel-vaulted ceiling in the grand entrance were made of cast stone by master craftsmen who were brought over from Europe in the 1920s to create all of the wonderful architectural elements that grace the building's exterior.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas, Petrea!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, another wonderful picture!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Petrea...

Tell the truth, Petrea: it's really no taller than a Munchkin and you took the photo from less that a foot away. ;)
ReplyDeleteSeriously (i.e. in non-Scroogey mode) - quite spectacular!
Love and best wishes to you and your loved ones.

Happy holidays to you and yours from Mama, Duncan, Lamont, Leland, Kailey and me in Portland, Oregon, USA.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for stopping by on your busy Christmas day! Mine was quiet, calm, rainy and sweet. I hope yours was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMichael Coppess: cool information! Thanks.
PIO: You're right. Whatever it takes, as long as it's legal. Hey, and that's my favorite page on the city's website. At least, so far, of the ones I've found. (I also like the walking art tour maps.)
I can't thank you all enough.
Merry Christmas to you too :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunner - both the ceiling and the tree. Apologies, I'm a day late but hope you and yours (including that gorgeous canine) had a wonderful Christmas, Petrea.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like Paris!
ReplyDeleteMerry merriness, blogsister.
Merry Christmas to you, Petrea.
ReplyDeleteDear Petrea, Merry Christmas to you and family.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late, but here you go anyway Warmest season's greetings from, Tomate Farcie San Francisco
