@blogdiva we always celebrated Christmas season starting with advent and until the Epiphany 😀 we got a second group of gifts on the Epiphany. In our lore, it was a good witch (la Befana) who delivered gifts on the Epiphany, and they were my favourites because it was usually some chocolates and other treats

@blogdiva Our tree has usually gone up the weekend after thanksgiving, but it all comes down Christmas Day. When it’s over, it’s over.

“gringo turkeymageddon” 😆

@blogdiva Seems fun, January is kind of a bummer

@blogdiva Catholic Czech ancestry here and the tree was always up through Epiphany but I often begged to keep it though Candlemas in Feb, too. Plus there was Advent, so it was basically Christmas from December to February, at which point I had just enough time to prep for Valentine’s and then Carneval.

@blogdiva tbh the season started vaguely in October when I was growing up. That’s when plaza would start playing aguinaldos and everyone started putting up their décor
