We did go back to view the Myer’s Christmas windows on a weekday evening. The timing was good because we didn’t have to jostle with too many people. The only downside was that the glass of each window was almost entirely covered with fingerprints at eye level down at the end of the day. Although we have never done it before, viewing the windows early in the morning might be even better. That is if the glass windows are cleaned each morning.
This year’s environmentally friendly theme is based on a relatively new picture book called “Uno’s Garden”. The author, Graeme Base, also wrote other famous picture books like “The Waterhole” and “Animalia”.
My favourite Myer’s Christmas windows was the one based on “The Wind in the Willows”, a few years back. I also quite like the one with Gumnut babies. That was from the 90’s. There was a book about the Christmas windows but I refused to buy it and now I can’t even find it. The Good Samaritan really wanted that book at the time. I might go and see if it is at the City Library.
The picture is that of a Snortlepig. It is a character from the picture book, “Uno’s Garden”.

Update (08/01/08): I also like the one based on Charles Dickens book "A Christmas Carol".
