The Portuguese Rooster Christmas 2024 Calendar

This fun and colourful Christmas calendar brings together 12 illustrations that show how the Portuguese Rooster, or Barcelos rooster, celebrates Christmas. He starts by travelling to the outskirts of the city where he lives to look for a pine tree. Then he rides back home in his car with the pine tree on top. Then he gathers the decorations, ornaments, and lights, decorating the pine tree and the house, inside and out. The Rooster goes shopping for Christmas gifts at the local shops, sends Happy Holidays cards to family and friends, cooks traditional sweet desserts for Christmas Eve, and proudly shows off a King Cake. The last thing he does is put the presents under the tree. Finally, the Portuguese Rooster goes up to the roof of his house and exchanges gifts with Santa Claus. Santa got him a codfish, a much-beloved fis of the Portuguese! The two end up spending New Year's Eve together partying in the street, in Lisbon, drinking champagne and surrounded by fireworks. When flipping through the calendar, the illustrations tell a little story, as if they were a comic strip. Each of these illustrations is available on various products for sale in the store. The rooster's act captures the essence of the season, the joy, as this whimsical set of illustrations embraces the spirit of the season in Portugal. This product is ideal to offer to a Portuguese friend, to a relative, to someone of Portuguese descent, or to someone who appreciates Portuguese traditions.
