A few years ago I wrote a pretty scathing review about Boston’s display of Christmas decorations. In that post I compared Bean Town to my home town of Kansas City, and the Big Apple itself. Since then, I’ve developed a kinder, gentler tone to my new home. Yes, there are the same trees lit in the Boston Commons. But this year there seemed to be more, or maybe I just saw them from a different angle.

As I meandered through town, I also noticed the beautifully lit stars that draped the corridors.

In my previous post, I did note the old world charm that only exists in Boston. As we walked Newberry street to a favorite French restaurant, we were reminded that Boston is decorated in ways that other cities just can’t match.

While I can’t say that the displays are what I’m used to in KC or NYC, Boston has its charm. I look forward to exploring more of the city during this magical time of the year.
