On Christmas day, we thought we’d go for a stroll downtown, before lunch. If an alien was unfortunate enough to land here on Christmas day he / she would have thought that Christmas is a big holiday, when we decorate the city with lights, in order to celebrate the birth of Dora the Explorer.

LOL! What a great photographic report you made!
Dora is so sweet! I haven’t seen much of her around here yet but she makes a change from Santa.

It is good to see that Dora has gone international, even if it is as a mylar baloon.
Happy New Year…

Too funny, I think we need Dora over here…ciao

HEHEEE!
So amusing, Chloe! I don’t know what I find more surprising, however: the plethora of Dora balloons or the fact that so many people are out and about on Christmas day: everything is deserted here on Christmas day: people board themselves up indoors with their gifts, family and food.
What else did you do Christmas day? Where did you go for lunch?

So, who is this Dora anyway? I must find out, as I suspect that she (or someone like her) will figure prominently in my not-so-distant future.

December 28th, 2007 at 12:20 pm

people here go out on Christmas day a lot. I’m going to post the rest of the photos and you’ll see. The weather was good, just a bit cloudy, and there were things to see around town (for the kids but i always like these kinds of things). xxx

Dora is a little girl who goes exploring to find something or sometimes offer help to somebody. The viewers at home are asked to help her. She has a monkey Boots, as her best friend. She can get on your nerves a bit. We don’t see her much at home because my son hates her (all boys do) and he prefers Spongebob instead. Good luck with that.

…if Dora hadn’t landed in the ditch, I would have assumed she flew over here! Yes. I must report she celebrated the holidays with little kids in San Francisco, too.
Too cute

how funny. At least she was cute. My neice got this talking Dora for Christmas and it is aweful looking.

I cracked up at these photos - esp the one of her among her people and her in the car. Freaking hilarious. And then your friend calling her a bitch is priceless.

Hello my dear friend,
I have missed talking with you. Thanks so much for the card. You always put a smile on my face.
It is wonderful that Dora doing so well. Little girls today have some great inspirations to be able to look up to….All I had was Barbie….
Big hugs,

Happy New Year soon.
May we all be blessed with only the very best.

you are so right. I also had only Barbie and Cindy and I didn’t like either of them. I only liked playmobils!
Jeanne
Dora is useful indeed. Happy new year to all of us, big hug to you. x
