Season’s greetings

The nativity scene, the North Pole workshop, the huge plastic Christmas tree, all part of the plaza decorations. Sadly, someone made off with El Niño, Jesús. Mary’s still looking pretty blissed though. I like she’s wearing a fabric outfit.

New Year’s promises to be a bit of fun. Kids are buying aerosols cans of foam spray and long cardboard tubes that explode like Christmas crackers and send a spray of coloured paper curls into the air.
