It's Christmas time in the city!

It's Christmas time here! The Dominicans don't celebrate Halloween or Thanksgiving, so the next big holiday on their calendar is Christmas! These pictures were taken on October 10, so you see they decorate early. Christmas lights and decorations are going up all over the city. This store we went to was very beautifully decorated. Here are the children on a Christmas train.
A full shot of the Christmas train engine.
One of the train cars with decorated Christmas trees on it.
The Gingerbread house.
This was an electrical Christmas tree that would pull little white "pellets" from the bottom and spit them out at the top, resembling snow falling on the tree. It was really cute. If you look close maybe you can see?
