Merry Christmas from Travel Photo Thursday

December 15, 2017 By Nancie 12 Comments

Christmas

Welcome to week 353 (12/14/2017) of Travel Photo Thursday and our last link-up for 2017.  We’ll see you all again on January 4, 2018. Wherever you may be and whatever holiday you may be celebrating we wish you the best of the season. MERRY CHRISTMAS  AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

To join in the Travel Photo Thursday fun simply choose a travel post from your blog.

Add a link to Budget Travelers Sandbox in your post. You can also add our Travel Photo Thursday logo.

You’ll find the code in the sidebar. Return here and place your link in the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post.

Each link is shared on Twitter and the Pinterest Travel Photo Thursday board.

Leave a comment before you go.

I do read each one and always try to respond.

Finally, take the time to visit some of the other bloggers in the link-up. Reading, posting, and sharing is what makes the link-up successful, and ultimately brings more traffic to your blog.

Most of my holidays over the past 17 years have been spent in warmer climates or (quite often) on airplanes.  There have almost always been beautiful Christmas decorations.

Hong Kong knows how “to do” Christmas. This was way back in 2003.

    You have seen some great holiday decorations over the years. My holiday season is during the summer (southern hemisphere) so I’m quite happy to stay local and enjoy the beach and a few BBQs.

    Our family does an every other year thing – we go to the kids one year and they come home to us the next. So for the last 4 years it’s been Colorado and home – but this year we are heading to New York for our kid visit and it’s my first time in NYC at Christmas. So exciting!

    I love the photo taken in Nova Scotia. We live in Sydney Australia. It is always hot on Christmas Day and this year doesn’t look like it will be any different.

    We always spend Christmas at home and don’t have a lot of Christmas photos. Our current hometown of Coolum Beach has a huge pine tree decorated with oversize parcels. They must be very sturdy because they stay put and still look good even after storms. Merry Christmas! Your first in your new home!

    Hi Nancie, wish you the best during this holiday season and the upcoming year! We try to go out for the season (a city in California or another state) but this year looks like we are going to spend the time home. I am having the last week of the year off so, I hope to fit a short trip in there. Have a great time in your new neighborhood!

    Loved this compilation of great Christmas photos and decorations from your various travels and now, in your new home area as well. Hopefully, you’ll have some snow on the ground for a white Christmas which will make your first Christmas in your new home this year even more special. Happy holidays and wishing you a happy 2018 too!

      Happy New Year Anita. We did have snow and rain in Halifax on the Christmas Day and then a huge wind storm. Since come back to AR we have had nothing but snow and cold. We are having a major storm today, and right now it’s raining. Expected to turn to snow later this evening. There is also a wind warning in effect for tonight. Happy New Year. I hope you have lots of great travel planned for 2018.

      Hi Adrianne. Welcome! The linky is only open for a certain number of days. You may have tried to link after it closed. We’ll be back on January 4th for a new year of Travel Photo Thursday. I hope you’ll join us.

  • Cooking with Chef Chris today at Founders House in Annapolis Royal was amazing. All of the dishes used local ingredients. Our first course was fresh speckled trout (it was swimming this morning!) on beet and apple purée, pickled beets, garnished with fresh apple and drizzled with green oil. Delicious!!

  • We had the opening of our new community hub today in Annapolis Royal. The Hub includes a new new library and an innovation centre. This 3D printer is one piece of the high tech equipment available for members or our wee community! #annapolisvalley #novascotia #annapolisroyal
