Really quite bizarre, but Alistair was certainly very excited to see (several, very skinny) Santa Claus' on the streets of Panaji! He managed free gifts from at least 2 of them, including these Santa hats.
Christmas fever taking over on Christmas Eve - men selling Santa hats on the central reservation!
With Roman Catholicism a major religion in Goa, Christmas is celebrated by many. I'm not sure if this is the way to do it (?!) but it made me feel more festive and put a smile on my face on a hot and sticky Christmas Eve far removed from my childhood memories (Jim Reeves, open fire, stockings. . .)
