Madeira: Nativity Scenes

We have just spent a week in Madeira - 23rd -30th December - and I thought I would share some, not all, of the 750+ photographs.

While it's still 2013 I thought I would share some of the Nativity scenes we saw.  These were built on the road side or in the centre of town.  Some we found more amusing than others - mostly due to the size of the baby or more particularly the size of the sheep in relation to the camels!

And the last one in Machico - which didn't photograph too well.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Christmas

I hope you are all enjoying a very happy Christmas.  Even if you don't celebrate Christmas I hope you are enjoying time with your friends and family.

I love this video of children telling the Christmas story from a different point of view.

Thank you so much for reading along with me over the past year.

Happy Christmas
