Wishing you all a happy Christmas season and/or whatever other holidays you celebrate instead.
In Braga (and all over Portugal), the wish is Feliz Natal e Feliz Ano Novo, or Boas Festas (Good Holidays.)
Here are a few shares from the main plaza areas to brighten your week.

| Yes, a street full of Santas my husband saw on his walk. |
And the university students, who are not in classes during this time, form groups called "tunas" that put on little performances around the historic area. Enjoy
May your days be full of love and peace and happiness, and may the new year bring more peace in the world, which we greatly need at this time.
See you all after the 25th.
With love and hope, Elizabeth
