There is very little of autumn here in Figueres and
today is its last day. Figueres doesn’t
actually have many trees. Except for La
Rambla, most of the streets have none.
But if, like me, fall is your favorite season and you are determined and
observant, you might spot something.
Chanuka came early this year and my celebration
was low-keyed. I hadn’t gone searching
far and wide for candles for my menorah, so I made do with votive candles and a
taper. That worked. It’s the idea that counts.

Christmas will be low-keyed too. A Christmas tree wouldn’t be appropriate and
a nativity scene even less so, but the little Catalan shitter, the caganer, who typically is part of the Catalan nativity scene is a different story. He puts a smile on my face and although I don't have the other figures, he
is always welcome at Christmas.
