Christmas children in Aleppo

Christmas children in Aleppo, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

We ended up being in Aleppo on Christmas Day, possibly not the best decision as (almost) everything was shut and there was no Christmas carnival like in Damascus (where we were told that there would be a parade of 500 children dressed up as Santa Claus). Anyway, the theme of the day ended up being taking photos of children playing and posing on the backstreets of the city. Here is a selection of them.
