So today I was linked to another Recycled Christmas decoration in Melgaço via facebook. Don’t know if it was the insperation for this one but the red and white Santa Claus was popularized by Coca-Cola in the 1930’s.

 Also gaining popularity in the internet is this girl Mina Stefan who wants to make it to the Playboy magazine cover. But why do I post her here? Because of her answer to “The best date i everd had was:”. She answers: “In Portugal”. It seems the lady had a very romantic evening in a portuguese beach somewhere so I thought it would be better advertising than my photos :). Click for source

Melgaço: recycled Christmas decoration

This year the City Hall took a different approach in regards to Christmas decoration in Melgaço. It’s no secret that the Portuguese government is cutting on a lot of unnecessary expense this year and it seems the local city hall added some ecological thinking to it and the result is that this year we have the streets decorated with plastic bottles, cans, wires and old CDs. Hope they saved the taxpayers money with this. Watch the photos and judge the results for yourself in the comments section.
