For many years a favourite pastime in the days leading up to
Christmas is to take the family to see the Christmas Window Displays at David
Jones Department store in the heart of Sydney NSW Australia.
Each year a different theme is chosen, and this year in 2011
the Christmas Story is being told through Christmas Carols
Moving marionette puppets are used to illustrate the
Christmas Carols, which include We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Twelve Days of
Christmas, Little Drummer Boy, While Shepherds Watch Their Flock By Night,
Silent Night and We Three Kings of Orient.
Puppeteer David Poulton said it took five artists six months
to create the mechanical puppet theatre displays and a couple of weeks to install
them. His company Promotions in Motion has been making the David Jones
Christmas window displays for the past six years. "What I like best is the
joy they bring to people," Mr Poulton said.
The Christmas Windows on display at the Elizabeth Street David
Jones store were unveiled at the beginning of November and will remain on
display until Christmas Day. Take a moment or two out from your Christmas shopping and admire these beautiful windows.
