Tinsel and snow

When we were down in Cotonou at the end of November, we were amused to see this big Christmas display in the hypermarket. We don't see anything like this in the rural north!



I took this photo, and later was looking at it before sending it to my family, when it struck me how funny it was to see our kids in "summer" clothes in front of the "snowy" scene. What was equally amusing was that when I was taking the  photo I hadn't thought of that at all!
