Holidays in Hampden

Next stop on the cruise, Hampden to check out Miracle on 34th Street and do some window shopping.  While most people who hear Miracle on 34th Street will think of the 1947 classic, any good Baltimore resident will think of over the top Christmas decorations.  Some highlights of the street included:

A manger made out of records

A Christmas tree made of hubcaps and snowmen made out of bicycle rims

Just a few streets north we strolled along the main drag in Hampden.  All the shops were decked for the holidays, including my favorite store Trohv.  Throughout the year they have some amazing window displays and the newest ones did not disappoint.  If you look closely you will see there are all kinds of materials being used: packing peanuts, pretzels, copper mugs and collapsed cardboard boxes.  

Now that Thanksgiving is over, the Christmas season is among us.
Hopefully I will be able to find several more festive activities over the next few weeks.
