Santa Abasto
Santa Claus in Abasto shopping mall. What this photograph doesn't convey is that outside it's 34 degrees C [90-ish F]. Thankfully for poor Santa it is air conditioned in the mall.

You must read "Te digo más" a tale by Roberto Fontanarrosa. The book itself is called "Te digo más y otros cuentos" (Ediciones de La Flor). The tale retells the story of a man that was hired by a shop to perform Santa Claus (Papá Noel). But it zas in Rosario, where temperatures in December may climb over 40 C... and the shop in that story was, unfortunately, not air conditioned.

Have you ever read anythibg by Fontanarrosa?
