Holiday Photo Fun: Twas the Horse Before Christmas, 2012 Edition

It’s time for The Jurga Report‘s annual collection of the symbolism of horses and horse culture in the holiday season. This gallery is compiled of shop windows, lighting displays and horse symbols dressed up for the holidays, from Glasgow, London, Las Vegas, San Francisco…horses are everywhere at Christmas, if you look, although none of these are real. But we know what they represent: horses are a big part of the magic of Christmas, as these talented photographers show us. Enjoy!

Cowboys, cowgirls and their horses ruled Las Vegas this month as the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo took over the Strip. Even the signature MGM lion wore a cowboy hat in the lobby of the Grand. (photo © Wendy Wooley)
