Love the Lisboa lighted ornament! So glad you have found a few spots of holiday festivity. And I think your tree is wonderful! Can't wait for the Nativity pictures from your next adventure!
While your tree is tiny, it is lovely . Grandma's handiwork is a joy to see. I miss her the most at Christmas. Like Carol, her ornaments were reworked until perfect and then primped.
While my in-laws did not grow up in Lisboa they were born and bread in two small towns in the Northern Part of Portugal. Came to Newburg NY and saw the explosion of Christmas EVERYWHERE the first year in the US...and could not believe how commercial it was (to them) to them, Christmas was and still is a day to celebrate with their families...private and spent at church...maybe that is something that you might be seeing...BTW I DO THE SAME THING WITH FINDING A SPECIAL ORNAMENT FROM EACH PLACE we travel...it’s a wonderful way to remember the trips and experiences we have had each year. Feliz Natal to both you and Scott 🎄🎄
I think I would love Christmas in Portugal. My mother preached you don’t say Merry Christmas until after midnight Mass. And most of the parties were between Christmas and New Years, not the whole month of December.
In the small world department, I can’t figure out how to attach a photo, but my crocheted angel is remarkably similar to yours!
