Day 16 - A Chilean Christmas

Today I will tell you about Christmas in Chile. We have been seeing lot of Christmas decorations starting to pop up everywhere recently. Whenever we go anywhere, we see Christmas trees, Christmas light and stalls on the side of the road selling Christmas stuff. My mum keeps saying we should steal a Christmas tree when no one is looking.

Yesterday we got a "Christmas tree" and we wrapped some lights round it. Our "Christmas tree" is just a side table and lamp with an angel on top. The lights hurt my eyes because of how fast they flash, so we need to make sure we put them on a slow flashing setting. At our hotel, there is a big Christmas tree in the main room and it touches the roof. It is surrounded by a bunch of little presents.

At the Costanera center, they have a huge Christmas tree. It is 5 floors tall. It starts in the bottom floor that in 1 floor below ground and goes all the way to the top of floor 4. In the bottom floor there is a sled and you can get a photo with Santa. Yesterday we went to a restaurant called Johnny Rockets in the Costanera center and the people that worked there had Christmas hats on and started dancing (they did this twice while we were there).
