Christmas - The Mexican Way

We were in Mexico over Thanksgiving week and I have to say it was quite relaxing. While we were there the hotels were decorating for Christmas (which is a week long process, or more, in Mexico). Their decorations were quite creative. The hotel where we lodged used artificial Christmas trees and decorated them with ribbon, gourds or coconuts spray painted silver or sprayed with glue and sprinkled with glitter, and other natural articles. It was all so fascinating to watch and I was amazed at how fabulous things looked when they were done.

And since Mexico is a Catholic state and there is no separation of Church and state, as we traveled to the airport on Saturday after Thanksgiving, the transportation department was busily decorating the roadway medians for Christmas.

Now, if I only thought to take some photos...
