While in Calgary this past week for work, I stayed at the Palliser. It is the oldest big hotel in Calgary, the old Canadian Pacific Rail hotel, and really a grand, beautiful hotel. I love staying there, we have a great rate, and the place is just awesome for business travel.
Anyway.
When I arrived, the had a few decorations up for Christmas, all very tasteful. And over the five days, it just grew and and grew and grew. When leaving this morning, pretty much every nook, cranny, ledge, arch, doorway, etc., was swaddled in greenery. It was like it was Christmas Kudzu. All very tasteful, but a bit much.
In Calgary all the Christmas as decorations are very tasteful and wintry - rather than gaudy with mechanical hip-swinging raunchy Santas.
An observation: I guess they start at seemingly random times, without the marked day of Thanksgiving that we have.
