Already? Yes. The gigantic metal tree is being assembled, there are ornaments in the stores, and most importantly, Zona Sul now has Christmas items on the delivery carts and Panetone in the aisles....
What is your favorite thing about Christmas in Rio?
Hard to say since this will be our first Christmas in Rio, but I'm thinking that hanging out on the beach on Christmas Day (if it's not too hot) will be quite the novelty!

Hands down the weather. A lifetime in Cleveland--I'm pretty stocked up on the "White Christmas" :)

I find without a Thanksgiving, there's no limit to the start of the Christmas madness lol.

Gotta love the Lagoa Christmas Tree. We take pix whenever we visit in December, and log to our site.

Walking to see the tree in the evenings (with a churro), and the beach on Christmas morning with a coconut!

Walking into Shopping Leblon when it's 185 degrees outside and hearing "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas" played throughout the mall.
