Of course through a child's eyes, everything seems much bigger than it
does when you are an adult. Who hasn't been back and found that the hill
you remember as being something like a mountain is not much more than a
speed bump? But I don't think this is the case here. I believe the
Christmas windows just don't have the same scale and awesomeness they
once did. The journey into the city to peer into those windows was once a
pilgrimage. Now the windows seem like little more than a book
merchandising opportunity. They are still a great beauty but it's just
not the same. Christmas in the city is, however, an evolving feast and a
delight for young and old. Tonight my mum, my son and I joined the
massive crowd at South Bank for the fireworks before walking across the
King George Square for the light show.We did briefly check out the
windows and all agreed the main game had shifted. Still Christmas in Brisbane is a celebration even the biggest kid can be proud of.
