Our first Christmas in Brazil was a sweaty one. We missed friends and family, but not the cold. Here are some pictures of Christmas Eve night and Christmas Day. Our friends Drew, Seher, Cody and baby-in-utero were visiting from Colorado.
Brazilians have many of the same Christmas traditions as Americans, such as turkey or ham for dinner, stressing out about presents, and decorating excessively, including with snowmen, though most have never seen real snow.

| Treats for Santa. Looks like she snuck a few herself. |

No mistletoe here that we know of, so
we made due with Brazil's finest artificial pine. |

and her friends (gift from Santa Claus / Papi Noel)
from their packaging on Christmas morning.
This process went on for several minutes ... |

| ... and on and on. |
 |
| Sure doesn't feel like December. We're definitely not complaining though. |
