Christmas Shoppe the
1 review for Christmas Shoppe the
If someone asked me to go to the Christmas Tree shop around Boston, I would puke in my mouth, swallow it, belch out a natsy throw up burp, blow it in the face of one who dared ask and then say no. I mean it's not really a Christmas shop at all, it sells cheesy little trinkets you will your office mates to not buy for you.
But you know it's not the case with this store. It's Christmas all the time and that's their story. I was at first a classic skeptic when my cousin suggested to check it out. But hey we were having a magical day and it was nice way to start the Christmas season. I seriously didn't know such pleasant things existed in Buffalo until she kindly took me under her wing for a day.
As soon as you walk in you will be filled with the magic - but again it's very subtle. No ridonculous Christmas music blaring just festive and not over bearing. Ofcourse the highlight for me was the upside down Christmas tree which was amazing. (You can check it out in my pictures.) I will be trying this someday when I live in an abode that doesn't have 20 foot celings. Of other significance and Christmacy spirit inducing for me was the Victorian section - trees done in shades of red and pink making me feel like Clara from the Nutcraker, the old world ornaments featuring ones that were imported from Czech Republic, Germany and Poland which were a nice cultural snack, the Irish room - yes as the Victorian room but done up in shades of green but yet not bogus, and the Santa Room - cause yeah I just like the jolly old chap and get myself a new Santa each year. This year I opted for a Santa Bell which turned out to be an antique and fit just right at my house.
Two things I scoffed at a little were the prices - very exhuberant for some items that are just replica's and the staff was the not least bit friendly. Minus a half star for each. Other than that it wasn't a gross experience at all, and not once did I feel the need to puke.
