I’d hoped they’d have finished building it by the time I cycled past it this Sunday, but I guess the worlds biggest Christmas Tree isn’t something that can be rushed. Still, just in case you’re interest in the progress they have made since last week, here’s a few more snaps! It has to be said that there are quite a few residents of Mexico City who feel that this isn’t the best way to spend money during an economic crisis with acute ongoing water shortages, but I myself like Christmas and Christmas trees! And I also feel that the worlds largest ice rink, which will be going up in the Zocalo any day now is a much more questionable project regards funding – exactly how much does it cost to keep an ice rink frozen on sunny, 20 to 25 degree, days in Mexico City?

Awww, it is going to be so pretty! Perhaps I should make a Christmas tree post myself.

A Christmas tree is an excellent excuse for wanton blog posting when all other forms of inspiration are otherwise absent!

Unfortunately, I can’t put one up at home. I am still having visions of Summer rushing to the top of our last one and coming within a millimetre of sending it through our front window. They two of them just can’t resist it!! But we used to have a big lightbulb one in Jo’burg…
