12.13.11 – Stockmann, Helsinki‘s most iconic department store, located in the city center, always has a Christmas display in one of their corner windows. There’s raised walkway for children to walk up to get a closer view. There’s a tram stop next to the display and when I’m there, I always love trying to get some shots of the little kids “soaking up” the holiday spirit. Always warms my heart!
