Smith & Caughey Windows
Smith & Caughey is the big department store part of the way up Queen Street, which has a Christmas story set out in its windows every year.

Farmers' Santa
This is the Santa that used to be on the old Farmers' department store in the central city in Auckland, but is now on the large Whitcoulls store on Queen Street instead.

Sky City Decorations
The best part of the decorations at Sky City is the light display they have on the tower at night time, with red and green lights. I wasn't able to take any photos of the tower at night time that came out well this year, so I've included two photos I took in 2012 of the tower on the way home after going to the Franklin Road Christmas Lights 2012, instead.

Takapuna
Admittedly the Takapuna decorations are as of the 22nd of November 2013, very boring espically when compared to some of the displays in the central city.
