Another festive season is upon us Sydney. I know Pitt Street Mall was a
construction site for almost two years, and just before Westfield Sydney
was born at Christmas almost two years ago now. My my the time has
flown. Before the original death of Pitt Street Mall, the Christmas
decorations around this shopping precinct used to be stunning. Not
anymore.
On the other hand, the Swarovski Christmas tree at the Queen Victoria Building is a delight again. Tomorrow, as at the time of writing this; the Swarovski Christmas tree will compliment the beautiful Swarovski crystal garden. This is where santa pays a visit at level 2. The sparkles and the sheer size of this tree makes the Swarovski Christmas tree one of the best public Christmas displays in Sydney. Many locals and tourists take pictures of each other in front of the tree from any floor at this opulent shopping space. Sydney is also looking forward to the crystal garden opening tomorrow, and again as at the time of writing this for 2012. A fun, Christmas sanctuary awaits.
It is rare for any hospital to have a Christmas tree outside its main entrance. Despite being a place for healing and rest, many people would not expect a Christmas tree to be perched in front of a busy medical institution. However, things are different at St Vincent's Hospital at Darlinghurst. Although the decorations look plain, however taking into account the artistic thought that went into the blending of the gold and silver decorations is captivating. The tree stands proud in a well maintained garden. If you find yourself eating your lunch, or perhaps just sitting down on the lawn somewhere at the park across the road, it is great to be able to see a massive tree of life opposite you.
So therefore, where is Sydney's best public Christmas display? The
nativity scene (sure, not a Christmas tree yet is still a public
Christmas display) at the windows of David Jones on the corner of
Elizabeth and Market Streets is a historical treasure. Both the young
and the not so young (maybe the young at heart) stop by, morning, noon
and night to view the spectacular nativity scene and the moving
characters with Christmas carol tunes like they're about to go out of
fashion. With a camera in tow it is easy to take happy snaps of every
single Christmas window at David Jones in the city.
