POLL and Entries-Weekly competition Christmas Spirit

[picsfor]

Entries thread
As it is that time of year, it falls to me to pick that most predictable of themes.
This week the topic is 'Christmas Spirit"
You are to try to shoot a single picture which demonstrates your interpretation of Christmas Spirit. This is NOT 'get a pic of a festive object", Christmas Tree alone won't do, father carrying Christmas tree home or children pointing to civic Christmas tree is acceptable. I think you get what i am trying to say.

The Ghost of Christmas - Yet to Come!!! 

Ipswich can be a deathly quiet place in the evening! Thought I'd timed it to get my ghostly figure(s) - but not a soul in sight!

Quick title change and a spot of HDR

Congratulations to Oldboy, who won it by a nose - after what was a 3 way dead heat at one point.
