Front page news on the Diario yesterday.
We all remember last years Christmas Lights Fiasco, well this year promises to return to the more traditional decoration and colour. A budget of 2 million euros will be used opposed to the 945,000 that was used last year.
Yippee! Can't wait to see the traditional lights this time around and the beautiful multi-coloured bulbs in the trees. Hopefully, there will also be some decorations in the new sea front area as dismal in that space last year. For once, the government have listened to the people of Madeira!

ReplyDeleteI too cannot wait to see the old Christmas lights, the one question I would add would be how much was it the year before last and the one before that and so on?
ReplyDelete€2,945,000.00 for two years lights!, do they not recycle the lights from previous years! I know they have the tourists to think about, but is this money actually going where it should? With a huge debt to pay off, money that could be used for worthwhile reasons and more permanent long term tourist benefit, maybe they should think about getting the old lights out each season like we have at home for the past 20 years :)
