I've been snapping shots of Christmas displays at stores and no one has said anything yet. Phew! I only use my P&S camera at the stores and try to be discrete.
I think this is supposed to be a dog or a bear dressed as a reindeer but I'm not sure. Ooh, and I think that is supposed to be snow behind him so I can also use this for the word of the day of "snow."
This one is great. I do the same thing. It's not nearly as weird to take pictures of Christmas decorations as it is to place a toy next to it and take a picture like I did for the 365toys challenge! LOL!
