Christmas Time in Uruguay

Mahalo Chicos,

I had to replenish my Clinque stuff so I stopped by Punta Caretas Mall, Montevideo, Uruguay and was really delighted to see this year’s Christmas decorations.

Their design team really took the time to create an elegant theme for Christmas. They used real life sized adorable polar bears, white and blue colors, and a giant Christmas tree that followed their theme. The front entrance of the mall had a rolled out blue carpet along with hanging ornaments of the same colors.

It was a step outside of the normal red and green that most see during the Christmas holidays. So I was pleased. You see for those that are not in South America the weather reflects Summer time more than the usual snowy or chilly Christmas so it’s nice to have a bit of that here even it’s not quite the same.

I really appreciate when the weather is Warm and Sunny, but there are times when I like the feeling of cold Christmas Holidays. Just like having mash potatoes and biscuits during Thanksgiving and watching a scary movie on Halloween.

Ciao,
