When we went to the show last week, we took the Subway downtown, and got off at Dundas Street/Eaton Centre. The one thing the Eaton Centre does is have this huge lit Christmas Tree. My photo's suck of the tree, I just couldn't get a decent photo of it. It was lovely in person though.
There were also these huge reindeer dotted around the mall, they must have been 10 to 12 feet high.
To my mind this tree was nicer. It was outside of the Vaughan Subway station.
When you go to a mall you see all sorts of people from all walks of life. We were looking at a car parked inside of the mall that the company was promoting, when a woman/man came up to us and started talking to us about the car. Now they were very nice and we talked to them for quite a while, but when he/she walked away both hubby and I looked at each other and said, "I'm confused, was that a man or woman."
Then we passed a woman who was in her late 60's/early 70's I would guess. She was wearing a pair of floral painted Doc. Marten boots, with a gold foil pleated skirt, with a long sweater on top. I turned and said to hubby, "Who decides to get up in the morning and pick out a very uncoordinated outfit like that and go shopping?" Floral doc marten boots say daytime to me, whereas gold foil pleated skirt says night time/party time to me?
Now I am guessing it was the height of fashion and a very expensive outfit, but "mutton dressed as lamb," came to mind.............it take all sorts.........people watching is so much fun. It also gave us plenty to talk about!!

Wow, those trees are beautiful! I really like the candy cane striped one.
Those Christmas trees look lovely! How festive.
I like people watching. Sometimes I think people are brave to just wear what they want with no thought to others (perhaps not when they are wearing pjs out lol). Yesterday we saw a lady at Walmart dressed in bright silver sparkling high heels and a matching bag. How unique!
Some very smart trees.
Merry Christmas.
Here's a traditional carol from home for you.

Those are some huge trees and reindeer
I don’t understand young fashion. I’m at the, as long as I’m comfortable I’m ok, stage of life
The reindeer are lovely, prefer those over the tree.
I like to people watch, often wondering if some even look in the mirror when they leave home.
When the RC and I were dating 47 years ago a date would sometimes involve getting onto the Go Train and ending up at Union Station and then the Eaton Centre. We didn't have money to shop but we loved to people watch. Endless entertainment!
The trees look wonderfully festive.
All the best Jan
