Christmas shopping

It's that time of year again where we all embark on an adventure to find the perfect gifts for family and friends.

Jeff and I have decided to do our Christmas shopping for each other together so we headed downtown to the Town Hall area of Sydney to check out the Galleries.

Here is another quick look into the Queen Victoria Building. It is beautiful during Christmas! Check out how big the tree is - all 4 levels!

Here is a better look at the top of it. The tree is decorated with over 40,000 Swarovski crystals! It is stunning!

Here is one of the elaborate buildings full of small shopping boutiques. It is called The Strand and is just across the way from the Queen Victoria Building.

I love how all the old buildings sit right up next to the new modern buildings.

After shopping a bit we decided to take a peek into a chocolate shop! It was all decked out for Christmas too!

We decided to get a few pieces as our afternoon snack - Jeff had Santa and I had the dark chocolate Koala! What better way to celebrate our Christmas in Australia!
