New Years, San Sebastian, Spain

This tree, while fantastic, was actually outside of the official Christmas Tree period and so therefore doesn't qualify. But the nativity scene really capped the whole thing off for me. A suprise visit from the Virgin Mary also gave the diarama certain gravitas!



Unfortunately, we missed this visit as we were still in Moraira. But the photographic evidence had us convinced.

It certainly paved the way for a brilliant New Years Eve...(and all the nights leading up to it too!)

Christmas 2005, Moraira, Spain

This is the Crew for Christmas 2005 in Moraira, Spain :

They are, from left to right:

Mike
Howie
Me
TM
Diana
Kieran
Jono

An eclectic bunch. But we had a good time. Ate too much, drank too much etc etc. I'm sure you've heard it all before.

This is Jono, in all his glory. Apologies if you find this objectionable but it's just too good to leave out. He reckons his mum bought the outfit for him - I'm not convinced.


The other photo is of the boys at the summit of Ifach....the highest point around at a towering 332 metres above sea level.

The Best Christmas Tree in the Universe!

OK, I spoke too soon. Jono & Kieran's effort in Moraira has the 143 example topped. No question. It was the decorations that did it for me. 

Chrimbo (that's Pommy for Christmas).

This is the best Christmas tree in the World. It is located at 143 Victoria Rise, London.
