Decorations that were put up a few weeks ago :)

Ah, you can feel the spirit in the air with the gorgeous, festive light decorations, though the ones in the pictures are from my home area, the ones in Helsinki center will blow your mind. There are moving displays with a small winter wonderland in them, rein deers, snow, snowmen, and everything! It's cute to see adorable little children staring at them, I feel like joining in at times. Pictures soon! I got some hardcore X-mas shopping done last weekend too, so happy and so proud of myself. The presents that were bought are something I'm ecstatic with, and gosh I can't wait to give them out already, haha :) I don't know if it's weird, but packing presents is super fun for me. You get to hide a surprise under some shiny wrapping and then await for the reaction of the receiver :D

ps. I tend to tape all the tiniest corners shut, so it's harder to get your hands onto ;)
pps. sorry about the picture qualities, some were taken in a hurry and since my camera seems to be a little off, that adds to it too :S 

Street performers who were very interesting and unique :D
