Christmas in Quebec City

Hi Everyone,

Just one short week away from Christmas, can you believe it?
I know you are all busy planning, doing last minute shopping, baking, decorating, and more!
Such a busy time of year, isn't it?
I am trying hard to not get stressed from all of the
"should do's" and "need to do's",
and instead
remember the real reason for the season.

Hubby and I returned last night from a trip to Quebec City.  It was our third time there, and is such a magical place at Christmas time!

Thought I'd share a few photos with you today of our getaway.

Here was our home away from home, the historic Chateau Frontenac!

 I felt like a princess staying here:)

Quebec City is not a cheap place to visit, but thankfully for us Americans the exchange rate is great for us now!

So now is the perfect time to visit!

Loved our room, my photo just doesn't do it justice.

And here is the view out our window!

 When visiting Quebec City, you truly feel as if you are in a quaint village in the heart of France.

French is the language spoken, and of course all of the signs, menus, etc are in French.

And the architecture is amazing!

 The city really goes all out decorating for Christmas.

I was just mesmerized by this adorable and oh so sweet window display of an antique shop that we came upon.

(I wish I could figure out how to photograph thru glass and not get a bunch of glare.)

It was just the cutest ever!

An antique doll is decorating the tree while her friends watch admiringly.

Perched on a ladder with a garland in her hands, she is having such fun getting the tree just right!

As her dolly friends look on.............

I just had to snap a photo of this sign below, certainly nothing we see at home!

Watch out for snow falling from the rooftops above!

Moi!

You would just love walking the cobblestone streets!

Here's hubby in front of "our" chateau!

Meet Daphne!

She is the ambassador of the seeing eye dog program in Canada, and comes to "work" each day at the hotel.

She is part Labrador and part Bernese Mountain dog, and is just gorgeous!

The grand lobby was decorated with some amazing Christmas trees.

 This blinged out one was my very favorite!
They were all decorated by different organizations for a charity fundraiser.

 Just magical!

Thanks so much for stopping by, I'll share more of our trip in a few days!
Au revoir!
