David Jones department store, Christmas

Each year the David Jones department store in Elizabeth Street features an elaborate window display for Christmas. This year the theme is Santa's Workshop, featuring animated marionettes. In the past, Sydney had many more department stores that also followed the Christmas tradition. The other department stores are gone now and when the Myer department store was redeveloped a few years ago, they abandoned this Christmas tradition, leaving David Jones as the only department store attracting Christmas shoppers to its window display.
