    Interesting collection of photos. The Santa, poinsettia, and airplane seem so North American, while the other two photos seem European...to me, anyway.

    I'm not surprised to see Santa servicing the dish antenna. With today's cost of living, Santa needs a second job to make ends meet.

    Even fake, those Poinsettia are nice. They remind me always on my birthday coming up, some days before Christmas. I am a Capricorn :)

    Love that niche.

    Hard times make Santa search for money where it is.

    Regarding the empty ship on my blog. She is lying (or is it laying) at anchor at the oil refinery so I would think her cargo would be oil. the pics on my 'day4plus' blog show some ships filling up at the refinery dock. MB
