Dear Readers,
This video (you can also view this on my YouTube channel), is a celebration of community, connection, and the many ways the Christmas season is experienced around the world.
What began as a simple idea became something far more meaningful thanks to the generosity of Our Portugal Journey readers, friends, and followers who took the time to share their photographs and personal perspectives. From Portugal to places far beyond, each image offers a quiet moment of reflection, beauty, and place.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who contributed - your willingness to participate, to pause, and to share how the season looks where you are is what made this project possible.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping turn it into something truly special.
As this project comes to a close, it also marks the final post of Our Portugal Journey for 2025.
I am deeply humbled and incredibly grateful for the more than 5,900 subscribers and followers who continue to find value, meaning, and inspiration in this work. Your readership, encouragement, and engagement are what make this journey possible and worthwhile.
Thank you for walking alongside me this year through stories, places, reflections, and shared moments. I’ll be taking a short pause, and I look forward to welcoming you back with the next post on January 15, 2026.
Thanks for being on this journey with me!
