Staying with the subject of break-inns, I think the Spanish have a funny Christmas decoration habit. They are crazy about hanging Santas on the outside of their houses. He hangs there on a ladder-like thing looking fake and silly.

On some streets you might have up to 20 santas hanging there, that must be a bit confusing fo the kids as we know there is only one santa.

It is funny celebrating christmas in another country. It is one of those things that are only right if it is like it was in your childhood. At least my mum is coming over this year so that will make it more real.

The streets are now lit up at night with Christmas decorations hanging between the houses. I’m afraid my pics are not that good as they were taken with my phone camera, which in turn makes them excellent considering they were taken with my…phone camera! It looks so nice when you walk around it the dark, although it is a bit funny seeing palm trees wrapped in lights. Palm trees + christmas= not sure. I need to go a bit further up in the mountains to look at some pine trees, they are definitely more Christmassy.
