As you can see from the above picture, it’s Christmas time in Spain and even the Corte Inglés is getting into the “Christmas Spirit” with a makeover of holiday lights. It seems to me as though Spaniards start a little later than we do in the USA with regard to “decking the halls” and all that jazz. Of course, us Americans start preparing for Christmas extremely early – I know of department stores in the USA that start putting out Christmas merchandise in September and October – so maybe the Spaniards have the right idea by just starting now.
I’m staying in Spain for Christmas, which means that this will be the first Christmas that I’ve ever had away from my family. It’s a little strange buying gifts to be mailed back home and knowing that I won’t be there for the “unwrapping ceremony,” so to speak. Still, I’m somewhat looking forward to being in Spain for Christmas to see how things differ here in comparison to the states. We’ll have to see what is in store for me as the holidays approach.
Hasta luego,
–Chris
