Welcome! If you’re just happening across this post, you can begin the official Holiday Rush Blog Hop by clicking HERE. Tons of prizes, tons of eye candy. What more could you ask for on a wintery weekend?
Yesterday, as I’m searching for the perfect blog post for this blog hop, I got an email with the following pictures. Now, maybe it’s cheating to griggs like that, but when I was stressing, and the email came in just at that “omigodwhatamIgoingtopost” moment….I like to think of it as A Gift From Santa.
The following are pictures of Christmas around the world. Click on each to view it full sized, they really are beautiful in imax version.
I hope it’s warm and cozy in your corner of the world. Leave me a comment, telling me which of the above locations would be your dream Holiday trip, and I’ll randomly choose one to win a paperback copy of my first novel Wyoming Solace. Good luck, and on with the hop!
Wow, Alanna–those photos are truly spectacular! The places I've been in real life are Tokyo and Trafalgar Square, and not during the holidays! I'd love to see them all, in a round-the-world tour, but if I had to choose just one, it'd be Rome! Italy, here I come 😉
Nice pics! I'd love to be in DC, actually. But my hometown Indy is pretty swanky too.

Prague. I've always wanted to see it. The pictures were fabulous and well worth it.
These pictures are fantastic!! Makes me want to go see everyone of them. I am really impressed with Arlington Cemetary!! I would love to see that department store in Paris.
I'd love to see the one in Rome in person, but they're all beautiful.
I have had the chance to be in Europe during Christmas and it is truly amazing..I miss it so much….Such pretty pics, thank you for posting them…
Great blog post Alanna. I love them all! But something about the little chapel on the bottom is comforting and draws me in. I love it. 🙂
I'd love to go see that tallest glass tree in Venice.
Happy Holidays!
I'd love to visit all these places.
Happy Holidays
Arlington Cemetary!! This is the time of the year to remember those who sacrificed for us so we can enjoy freedom. Happy Holidays may all your wishes come true.
The pictures are beautiful. I would love to visit Gubbio, Italy….someday. Maybe we'll make it for our 30th anniversary

Congrats Jolene! Random.org chose you as the winner! I'm emailing you now, and I'll send the print copy of Wyoming Solace as soon as I can.
Merry Christmas!
The pictures are lovely. I was drawn to the chapel in Germany's Karwendel Mountains, it just looks so quiet and peaceful. Merry Christmas
I had to laugh at “location unknown. Let's just pretend this is my backyard”. Too funny!! I would love to go to Prague! My brother in-law has traveled there several times for business and loved it.
Start up the fireplace I'm comin to your backyard. I live in Fl and have never seen snow!

All of the places are beautiful but I would love to visit Gubbio, Italy the most.
Hmmm a tough choice but I'd pick Madrid all the way. 😉
All of those are gorgeous! But since I'm hoping for warmer weather than what's here, I choose Madrid Spain.
