Christmas views are everywhere as the holiday countdown continues
VANCOUVER — Christmas is only a tantalizing, five days away, and across Vancouver it is nearly impossible not to notice.
From the hustle and bustle of the fully decked out shopping mega-hub of the Vancouver Mall, to the classically adorned facade of city hall, to the quaint homegrown decor of the ‘Couve’s many coffee shops, everywhere, there is a buzz and a murmur of expectancy.
Amidst the dreary gray days, full of downpours and missed steps landing many with wet shoes on their way to work, the holiday season lends a certain pull on our hearts; reminding us we’ve made it through another year and it’s time to celebrate.
The photograph is still one of the most compelling forms of communication. It makes you stop, think and often just stare. With the usual rush of this time of year, take a minute, (or two), and just stare at the transformation around you.

From all of us at Clark County Today, we hope you have a Happy Holiday, very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
