As long time readers of this blog know, the Vietnamese are crazy about Christmas. Every year it gets bigger.
Last night I visited what I can describe only as a "Christmas Depot" next to a church not far from my house in District 3. I needed to pick up some supplies to decorate my office area. There were Christmas supplies galore -- snowmen, snowflakes, santa outfits, lights, Christmas trees (fake), everything. You nameit they had it. I snapped some pics on my swanky new phone.
There were several shops set up, each with different proprietors. An efficient market at work. I bought some snowmen from these cheerful women. Definitely into the Christmas spirit!
The "Santa Suit Shoppe," Saigon outlet.
A nativity scene done in signature Technicolor Vietnam style.
Christmas tree section showed impressive variety.
