It's Christmas Time...

though in these 38 degree temperatures it's hard to tell. It's strange living somewhere where the only variations in the weather are the dry and the wet.  Days pass by and once the rains eased in October it has felt like on long summer and the thought of dark days and Christmas lights are very far away.

However, you can't escape Christmas here either as the shops adorn themselves with Santa who all appear to be the musical variety with a special talent for the saxaphone.  Here are my examples

Monoprix

Salvone Bakery

The shop that took my breath away was Nassim's Supermarket.  This photo doesn't do it justice as at night it is lit up like a Christmas Tree.

On Friday night the security were dressed in Santa suits and dancing!  Magic!!!
