December arrives during the warmest time of year in South America´s summertime.
School aged children are on their summer vacations from the end of November into
February, sometimes only ending a week after Carnaval (which is 40 days before
Easter). Brazilian winter is the opposite of North America´s, so the holiday
decorations and festivities occur when temperatures are their highest. It is not
unusual to have rain. Nativity scenes, artificial pine trees, decorations on the large
avenues, and gift giving are all commonplace. Santa (Papai Noel) is usually dressed
in the stifling hot traditional North American red and white costumes with black
boots and belt and can be found near Christmas in nearly every shopping center.
