点评:As my partner and I ambled along Queen Street, we couldn’t help but take note of the “Just Christmas” store (est. 1985). The exterior is decked out in traditional Christmas colours (red and green) while the windows display many of the unique items on offer. We both love the holiday season; thus, we decided to check this Niagara-on-the-Lake landmark out!
The store is deceptively large (it doesn’t look that big from the outside) but, as soon as you walk in, you cannot help but be overtaken by warm holiday vibes – some might call that the “Spirit of Christmas.” The décor, the countless Christmas-themed items – everything from tree toppers, magnets, tablecloths, ornaments, cards, stuffies, classic Christmas gear (Coca Cola polar bear, anyone?), clothing, and the latest trends . . . it’s all here! In some respects, the store is almost overwhelming; however, it’s such a joyous place. Even though it was raining like heck outside, it totally felt like Christmas indoors!
As I wandered around, I couldn’t help but think of those cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies. The Just Christmas store feels like the perfect setting for a few scenes while Niagara-on-the-Lake is the ultimate backdrop (in fact, a handful of Hallmark holiday movies HAVE been filmed in this town . . . go figure!). It was a fun thought and made walking around this busy store all the more joyous!
If you’re visiting NOTL and its beautiful historic district, be sure to catch a little holiday cheer at the Just Christmas store. Its wonderful vibe and atmosphere will get you in the Christmas spirit in no time (and you just might find something fabulous to take home – as we did!).
翻译:我和伴侣漫步在皇后街上时,不禁注意到了那家名为“Just Christmas”的商店(创立于1985年)。店铺外观以传统的圣诞色彩——红色与绿色装点,橱窗里则陈列着诸多独具特色的商品。我们俩都非常喜爱节日氛围,于是决定去这个尼亚加拉湖畔的标志性店铺一探究竟!
这家店其实相当宽敞(从外面看并不显得很大),不过一走进去就会发现……你根本无法抗拒那种浓浓的节日氛围——有些人可能会称之为“圣诞精神”。这里的装饰、数不胜数的圣诞主题商品——从圣诞树顶饰、磁铁、桌布、装饰品、贺卡、毛绒玩具,到经典的圣诞周边(比如可口可乐的北极熊玩偶?)、服装,还有最新的潮流单品……应有尽有!从某种程度上来说,这家店让人应接不暇;不过,它确实是个充满欢乐气息的地方。尽管外面下着倾盆大雨。室内的氛围简直就像过圣诞节一样!
我边逛边不禁想起了那些老套又温馨的霍尔马克圣诞电影。Just Christmas商店简直就是拍摄这些电影的理想场景,而尼亚加拉湖畔小镇则是最佳的背景布景(事实上,确实有几部霍尔马克假日电影是在这里拍摄的……真没想到吧!)。这个想法真有趣,也让我在这家热闹的商店里闲逛时心情更加愉悦!
如果你正打算游览尼亚加拉湖畔小镇及其美丽的历史街区……一定要去Just Christmas商店感受一下节日的氛围哦。那里绝佳的氛围与环境能迅速让你沉浸在圣诞的喜悦中(说不定你还能淘到心仪的好物带回家——就像我们一样!)。
