Dec-14
Santa… had to look up Krampus. Not sure I got the right thing on Google images but he was kind of creepy Java!
Sugar cookies or Chocolate chip
Dec-14
Chocolate chip. You got the right image, Lore. In Eastern/Central European culture Santa gives the good children, things, and Krampus deals with the bad.
Eggnog or champagne
Dec-15
Oh wow. He is creepy! Funny I’ve never heard of him. Maybe I’ve always been good, hahaha .
Im gonna go with Eggnog. We used to make it ourselves when I was a kid and it was amazing. I’ve not seen or heard of it here now that you mention it. I’ll have to ask my Portuguese friends.
Christmas music: newer or traditional
Oh! But pretty much everywhere I go there are these carts on the sidewalk that billow smoke and smell really good and they are roasting Chestnuts (Castanhas) Maybe I get that instead of Eggnog…. But you have those carts in NYC too, right?
Dec-15
Traditional.
Yes Lore, NYC has street vendors selling chestnuts during the fall/winter. Along with delicacies like hotdogs, knishes, and pretzels.
Movies: black & white or colorized
Dec-16
Ahhh…I remember having one of those hot dogs years ago. Best ever!
Colorized
Movies: Drama or comedy
Dec-16
Drama, but really depends on my mood.
Cash or credit cards. Does anyone use cash in Portugal?
Dec-16
Cash
Outside of the bigger cities (Lisbon and Porto) cash is preferred. I had some issues in some smaller towns on previous trips wanting to use a card, and a non-Portuguese card, well…forget it. It’s interesting…you pay your utility bills at an ATM. And many many things you pay a person or business directly through the ATM too. Like the class I signed up for, I paid through the ATM with their IBAN and account number. I’m not decided on my comfort with this yet, lol.
Ginger bread or fruit cake
Dec-17
Gingerbread.
That's interesting about the ATM. I always hear the US uses the most cash. Though that changed some. Some old restaurants & bars only started taking credit cards during COVID.
Gingerbread house: ornamental or edible
