Greetings!
One week until Christmas and I still have to buy all the presents. I'm just imagining the crowd in the shopping centers and commercial streets of São Paulo, the most crowded city in Brazil. I must find some time and patience to accomplish this mission. I'm sure I'll have lots of fun.
So, let's start the Christmas celebrations at this blog! Last week I found a fine Christmas's tag at DJ Kirby's blog. Check it out!
