Christmas around Europe brings us to one of the most magnificent trees I have seen in a long time right in the town center of Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast. Even the surrounding palm trees are decorated with beautiful white lights and residents drive from all over the coast to view this tree each year.

Sorrento's main street, Corso Italia, halts car traffic and becomes a pedestrian way each evening;
perfect for a Christmas stroll under the lights! |

Italy has some of the most stunningly decorated shop windows.

Aww, thank you so much for sharing these pictures of Christmas on the Amalfi coast! My husband and I love to travel, but Sorrento is an extra-special place for us. I have never seen it lit up for Christmas and it makes my heart happy. Like you, I adore seeing the Christmas decorations around various cities - it's one of the few things that makes winter worthwhile!
