2010 Christmas Tree - Part I

We are just about slightly more than a month away from our favourite Christmas !!! I found this X'mas tree outside United Square Shopping Mall & i like it very much because there are gingerbread men in the tree decoration.

I know that the gingerbread man has a long history in Europe, where he appeared as a Christmas tree decoration and in elaborate holiday scenes. The gingerbread man often had a gingerbread house to live in, with gingerbread animals, trees, and decorations made from candies and icing. Especially in Germany, gingerbread Christmas decorations are often quite elaborate, stemming from a 16th century tradition of fanciful gingerbread creations, popularized by Grimm's Fairy Tales and the story of Hansel and Gretel.

OK, by now, you should know very well that i love to take black & white (Monochrome) photographs. Even shot in black and white mode, i can totally feel the warmth of the X'mas season from this tree displayed in Mphosis boutique shop.
