June 22, 2018 · Portugal
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. At first, when I joked I was driving the Santa’s sleigh, since I was using the Van of brother’s Santa Vitor and Jose. And then when I had problems with lock and window and another Santa, in the form of Manuel Santos and his niece, Natalia, as in Nativity, assisted me. I thought my Santa fantasy story had come to an end.
The streets have religious scenes and figurines of Christ and John the Baptist. And decorations of garlands, flowers, lights and flags of Christmas colors..
But, with the 24th approaching, streets decorated as is if were Christmas, I am wondering if maybe, Portugal is a second home for Santa. Even its national flag is Christmas colors red and green.
This is all having an affect on me, as I driven Santa’s Sleigh. Even I am not certain as to my identity.
As I drive the sleigh based on the decorations it appears the preferred form of transport on this holiday is hotair balloon.
