Hello, my dear readers!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The holidays are upon, meaning that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">o Natal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (Christmas) will soon be bringing its joyous festivities, typical dishes, family gatherings, office parties and, of course, gifts. Although the holiday season may hold different meanings and in each culture, which may result in different traditions, it is undeniable that getting gifts is a great feeling any time of the year!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here in Brazil, we normally adopt some conventional western practices when it comes to that, such as placing the wrapped presents under the<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00e1rvore de natal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (Christmas tree). Usually, we exchange them <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">na v\u00e9spera <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(on Christmas eve), instead of Christmas morning, like other countries do. Games like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">amigo oculto<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (secret santa) and its variations are common during Christmas parties with the family and corporate or university events. Larger companies often hand out care packages with food and\u00a0<\/span><span>drinks to their employees. Brazilians also love to say that they are giving <em>s\u00f3 uma lembrancinha,<\/em> which means that they are giving you\u00a0 a little something with symbolic value, a souvenir.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0And what about you?\u00a0<\/span><i><span>O que voc\u00ea quer neste natal?<\/span><\/i><span>\u00a0What do you want for Christmas?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_8186\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8186\" class=\"wp-image-8186 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2018\/12\/Giving_a_gift-350x233.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2018\/12\/Giving_a_gift-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2018\/12\/Giving_a_gift-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2018\/12\/Giving_a_gift.jpg 849w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8186\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Presente<br \/>(photo by asenat29 [CC BY 2.0 (https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before we go any further into that, how about we review some previous posts on Christmas topics?
