I think it's just OK to me, nothing outstanding that would make me go "wow!"
At least Pavilion KL was more interesting with their flying reindeers!
OK, let me magnify the flying reindeers a little for you.
The main concourse was filled with tall Christmas trees.
There were performances every night, if I am not mistaken.
Outside the main entrance of Pavilion, there were brightly lit reindeers pulling a carriage.
And brightly lit Christmas trees too.
Of course, not forgetting the snow! Read my post about the snow in Pavilion if you haven't already.
Over at Berjaya Times Square, I was at first a little awed by their tall rotating Christmas tree!
Although the tree does not look that tall in my photo.
I was however more attracted to their Santa's snow cottage.
Does this look like snow falling?
I could feel as if the snow were falling on me from this angle looking up.
There seemed to be a lot of snowmen around, so I just captured a few photos of them.
Not too bad, in my opinion. But still not enough to impress me. Haha!
I went to Suria KLCC half expecting to see their giant tall Christmas tree which they put up year after year after year. But, surprise! The tall Christmas tree was nowhere in sight and was replaced by this!
Is that supposed to be a gingerbread house or something? What do you think?
Nice, vibrant colours of lollipops or candies!
And are these supposed to be cute? I guess children would find them cute!
Talking about cute, KLCC should take the cue from Bangsar Shopping Centre. Take a look!
Now is that a gigantic lamp and table or what!
A giant drawer, mirror and book! I felt like I was Alice in Wonderland!
Can you read what was written in the book?
Santa Claus in a giant bubble. Nice!
Ooh! Cute giant teddy bear on a cute blue stool!
Let me magnify the bear : )
OK, I liked this cute bear a lot so I took it from two different angles. Haha!
Did you notice someone sitting right behind that bear?
Now who is he? Do you know?
You see those giant bubbles at the top?
Looks like there are tiny figurines inside them! I am glad it was not an empty bubble!
I think this is by far the most interesting Christmas decoration I have seen this year. What do you think? I just had to take a few more shots of the place!
Pardon me for the numerous bear pictures - I really like the bear although I think my panda avatar is cuter. Haha!
Each shopping mall has its own Christmas theme. I actually only learnt about them after I visited the malls! Haha! So let me state the theme for each mall I visited.
1Utama - White lyrical Christmas. It's all white!! Too bad no snow!
The Curve - Bedazzled Christmas. Medieval times with angels and fairies galore!
Sunway Pyramid - A Magnifique Christmas (inspired by Moulin Rouge) This explains the mannequin wearing cabaret costumes in the cage which I did not have a clue in my previous post!
Mid Valley Megamall - A Magical Christmas. Also medieval times with castles and candles and maybe some magic!
The Gardens - Not sure of the theme! I think there is no theme. But it's more of a classic decor.
Pavilion KL - A Royale Christmas. The title 'Royale' suggests grand Christmas!
Berjaya Times Square - Santa's Snowy Cottage.
Suria KLCC - The Sweetest Christmas. No wonder colourful candies and sweets took centrestage!
Bangsar Shopping Centre - Not sure of the theme, but sure looks like Alice In Wonderland to me!
Wow! Didn't realize I had visited 9 malls the past two weeks just to snap photos of Christmas decorations! So, after looking at these photos, which mall do you think, has the best Christmas decoration in 2009?
FIRST COMMENTER
Blogging on Sunday?
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Thank you so so so much. Xiexie :p
That toy starts with a 'T' something soldier boy?
wah... you visit almost all the mall in the KL & Selangor Cool!
for me i think Pavilion gua... especially snow session.
actually,all the decoration have their own special place!
Good Jobs!
Gee, you really are darn free aren't you visiting all those malls ... LOL!
Omg the bear is huge! Its a real fluffy teddy bear or a Styrofoam one?
All of them stand tall with their own idividual beauty & charm to captivate and mesmerize the hearts of the public. In my humble opinion I would say all are WINNERS. They are lovely. Foongpc, trillion thanks to you for all the hardwork, time, effort and great sharing for decorating the Xmas atmosphere with magical moments.
Hmm, everything looks so good and bright, I really can't pick one. But the one I really like would have to be the flying reindeers - that's more creative and original!
And I love the little village too! So beautiful to look at, it almost feels like Christmas in the old villages.
Wow, seems like they burned a lot of money for all the decorations! What we got here in the country is nothing compared to what you guys have, lol!
I would have to change my pick to Bangsar Shopping Centre. It's the best of the lot.
each has its own uniqueness! splendid!
Looks like you covered them all, Foong, and very nicely too, if I may add. Thanks for sharing the beauty of the KL Christmas ambience.
The line is pretty unstable. Had my earlier comment cut off mid-way, so I shall have to go by installments, just to play it safe? Sure hate to have to reconstruct my thoughts.
My vote goes out to Pavilion for their more refined, well thought-out decor. I was there one night and saw 'snow' falling but avoided that area to avoid catching the 'snow', if you know what I mean.
There was no performance but instead the crowd was gathered in front of and towards the stage where Jay Chou made an appearance, probably to promote his latest movie. All balconies were also swarmed with interested parties. You could tell, he sure does have a lot of fans in KL - mostly girls. But of course! LOL!
I quite like the gingerbread house theme of KLCC Suria's. Very neat and colorful. Having their logo displayed is a nice touch. At least in a photograph (like the one you've taken) you'd know it's Suria's - good advertising. Smart thinking, actually. Thumbs up, there!
I'm not high on the decor at Bangsar Shopping Centre though. Maybe it's their theme but the place looks like one giant child's room of toys strewn everywhere though the giant snow-globes are a nice touch, so is the giant teddy on a giant blue stool. It is really one giant hotch-potch of stuff in a room..
Oh well, to each his own. Still, everyone is unique and nice in its own way. Thanks again, Foong.
Ish..ish..ish facing a challenge with the internet connection. Love the 'flying' reindeers in Pavilion and the falling snow 'bubbles' in Berjaya Times Square. Once again thanks.
I still love the deco at Mid Valley...
Goodness the whole post is full of photos. :D War...you must have visited like almost all the shopping mall in KL aye. :)
Yeah! The Garden's ones...just so so. So many "bird cages", nothing outstanding. :p Just tress....and more trees.
Wow! The Pavilion ones indeed look better and livelier. :D They even "tamed" a few reindeers to do their job huh!
Wow! Pavillion really put in a lot of effort to make you feel the Christmas huh! They even have Snow? Gosh....something'w wrong with our weather?
Time'square had the rotating tree? Hmm...nothing fancy. But the cottages are really cute. really adds up the mood.
Aww....they even "moulded" a few Mr. Frosties to play along. :)
Awww...Gingerbread house in KLCC! That's really thoughtful of them. At least they didn't pull out the same old trick again-TREES. :P
Yeah! It does look cute and I'm sure the children gonna love it.
War...so many gigantic stuff over there. :p Size does matter huh. No giant trees but they have giant chair, table, bear bear etc. :p
Wow! You visited all 9? Hmm...can't really decide which is the best because all have their own attraction. :)
Wah, so hardworking lar you! I think I still like the Royale Christmas a lot because of the very RED decor. Looks very grand... :)
wow...you have the time to visit that number of malls! Visited only Pavilion and Mid Valley and the Christmas decor for both were not that great.
I like the candy house and giant teddy.
My vote is for the flying reindeers!! WOW! It looks so magical!
wow...9 malls! u sure are a fervent traveller. haha...i would say pavilion. the decorations look really great and pretty! :)
Pavilion seems to offer something out of the ordinary this year, which happen to be my pick
aiyo... your page takes forever to load. Too many photos, I guess...
I never bother to check out the mall decorations this year. Too busy recently :(
u so free no need work one ah?
love bangsar's deco.
wow, looks like you've been to all major shopping malls in KL already!! haha..
hmmm, i don't remember i've been to many malls to see the xmas deco.. maybe only KLCC, MV, Pavilion and Gardens only..

kenwooi.com
i think i like pavilion one the most! very pretty. too bad this year i only visited 3 malls here to see the xmas deco.
a belated merry christmas to you! wow the decorations are so impressive. different ideas, different feeling all together. you did a great job capturing them. :)
i saw the pavillion not bad ler...the deco quite huge ler....
I think BSC has the most original and creative Xmas deco. The rest are pretty normal and routine but BSC is really good this year!
i like KLCC's decor...yummy yummy! :D
Pavilion! Classy and grandiose, love it. And the reindeers at the entrance looked esp stunning after they were lit up after dark!
bananaz, yeah, once in a while, I do blog on Sunday. I am quite unpredictable, hehe.
Start with a T? You mean Toy Soldier? Haha!
CH Voon, haha yes so hardworking right, me?

cheahs@n, glad you like them! I had great fun going from one mall to another to take photos! : )
halfcrazy, the flying reindeers and the snow village are nice indeed. I guess they burned a lot of money for these decors.
Yes, Bangsar Shopping Centre is pretty unique and nice! :)
wenn, thanks, I agree each has its own uniqueness : )
happysurfer, well I covered most of the major malls I think, haha!
Oh, you saw Jay Chou in Pavilion? No photos of him? Mostly female fans? I am a fan of him too! Haha!
Yes, I agree KLCC pretty smart having their logo displayed on the Christmas decors.
Haha, yes the BSC sure looks like stuffs in a room, but I just like it for being very unique and different from other malls : )
cheahs@n, something wrong with Streamyx?
pikey, Mid Valley is not too bad, but not the best for me : )
tekkaus, yes almost all! haha!
Haha, you are damn funny! Tamed the reindeers and what's wrong with our weather? LOL!

quachee,really? I'm going to take that as a compliment! Thanks! : )
I like all the Christmas decorations in all those malls as we have little to see in my humble small town.
can't choose...so hard coz it's just so festive and beautiful everywhere unlike here so sad around...
how come never invite us along? I can be friendly, ahem....for the sake of the delicious food :-D
I know traditionally in the US most people go with the day after Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving evening after dinner etc. I myself love Christmas, I have decorations for all the rooms in my house and I put up several trees.(we have a big house) I think with all the work involved it is best to have them up earlier. When in your opinion is too early??
What beautiful scenery, delicious food and festive cheer! Thank you for taking me there foongpc!
I was at the one in Glasgow a couple of days ago and they had christmas trees up and some of the lights up and tinsle don't know if that will help you though.
This will be the first year I will be able to actually celebrate christmas as a giving holiday. We do not have much in decoration, but do have some funds to work with...
jam, thanks, maybe you should come over to KL next Christmas! : )
ayie, no Christmas decors at your place?
saucer, are you commenting on the wrong post? Hehe
hanging lamps, oh I think one month before Christmas would be fine : )
health nut wannabee mom, you are welcome! : )
hanging lamps, I've never been to Glasgow! Good that you are able to have holiday during Christmas! : )
Either way you serve them, you will find that these celulares baratos biscuits are a tasty change of pace from other breads. This recipe makes 1 dozen.
