For several years (specially when I was young) I thought Christmas celebrations  “worked” exactly the same in every country. But now more than every and specially after having a long Xmas talk with some workmates (from around the world) I’ve realised that I was fairly wrong.

Today was meant to be different, I was meant to talk about the Britomart Christmas market I went a few weekends back, specially talk about the lack thereof market (to be fair maybe I overrated it) But then I realized since it was the same weekend market I didn’t have many photos of it, so given my planned post failed miserably I though I would share with you a few worldwide xmas recipes I found in a few articles around the webz.

Hungry yet?
Sorry about the lame post but I will be back tomorrow with another freebie Friday! Jules.-

Hoy iba a ser diferente, estaba destinado a hablar sobre el mercado de Britomart de Navidad al que fui un par de fines atrás, especialmente hablan de la falta del mercado mismo (para ser justos quizá lo sobrevalore demasiado) Pero entonces me di cuenta, ya que era el mismo mercado de fin de semana no tenía muchas fotos, por lo que mi post planeado para hoy fracasó miserablemente, por eso pensé en compartir con ustedes algunas recetas de Navidad de todo el mundo que encontré navegando por “la internes”

Hello Everybody!
Given that we are mostly a week until Christmas and this is meant to be the season of giving it was the perfect time to do my first giveaway! Hopefully in the future I will be able to do more and more giveaways, since I love giving away presents.
