Santa Claus meets the Portuguese Rooster Postcard

This illustration captures the essence of sharing, and celebration, and different traditions. It’s a heartwarming scene where the Portuguese Rooster and Santa Claus engage in a festive exchange of Christmas presents atop a roof of a charming yellow Portuguese house. This delightful meeting of cultural symbols bridges the gap between tradition and fantasy, weaving a tale of holiday cheer. Santa Claus jovially extends a wrapped gift to the Portuguese Rooster, adorned with vibrant colors. The shape is familiar. Nestled within the wrapping is a precious offering —a Codfish. The significance of this gesture resonates deeply with the Portuguese people. The Codfish, a symbolic and cherished fish, holds a special place in their culinary and cultural history. There are many stories about Portuguese sailors going on long expeditions to Canada (Newfoundland area) and Greenland, spending about six months at sea, and returning home with ships full of cod. This fish has become a symbol of unity, family, and tradition and it’s a must at the Portuguese Christmas table. This illustration reminds us of the universal spirit of giving that transcends boundaries. The Portuguese Rooster and Santa Claus embody the magic of the holiday season—a time when cultures converge, and the simple act of exchanging gifts fosters connections that bridge generations and continents. This product is ideal to offer to a Portuguese friend, a relative, someone of Portuguese descent, or someone who appreciates Portuguese traditions.
