Without Thanksgiving, the end of Halloween signals the jump into the next holiday: Christmas.
And let me tell you. We are in full Christmas mode here in Costa Rica. All of the Mas por Menos cashiers have Santa hats and there is a continuous "Deck the Halls" kind of background tunes playing.
What really got me, though, was in my aerobics class this week: We're standing outside preparing to do some sprints when a breeze comes. It's been rainy a lot (surprise!) but this morning was pretty sunny — maybe 70 degrees. Anyway, this breeze comes, and my teacher gets this huge grin on her face.
"Look girls! It's just like Christmas weather!"
And everyone coos appreciatively.
Welcome to Christmas in Central America, everyone.
