Merry Christmas. Here’s some seasonal street decorations from a couple of European capital cities.
If the famous mannekin pis fountain wasn’t kitsch enough already, it gets dressed in a regularly changing array of costumes. I don’t know whether the little santa suit is an annual tradition or not.
There’s a shop entirely devoted to Lego among the up-market establishments on Berlin’s Potzdammer Platz (I assume it’s still there). They have big Lego models outside the shop. A life-sized Santa was there some years back.
Across the city, the Ku’Damm is another up-market shopping district. I’m not sure whether the larger than life figure here by one of the stalls of a Christmas market was meant to be Santa (beard, red trousers and boots) or one of the three kings (the crown).
