Ya está aquí la navidad otra vez. La cuarta desde que trabajo en Público y la tercera desde la creación de este blog de La Mesa de Luz. Y ya está aquí el tradicional post con las imágenes de Papa Noel, Santa Claus o San Nicolas (que cada uno lo llame como quiera) que han enviado las agencias. Este gordinflón vestido de rojo Coca-Cola es visto en todo tipo de situaciones a lo largo y ancho de todo el mundo. Desde la redacción, trabajando junto a mis compañeros Miguel G. Castro y Fernando Sanchez, os deseo que tengaís una feliz noche, lo paséis bien y que sigamos viéndonos en La Mesa de Luz. Feliz Navidad.
