while grandson Anthony starts taking his newly won bicycle apart and I torture everyone with a new flute that I was 'gifted', along with demo and instructions, many went without a gift and some won a lot:
Brazilian's president Lula granted 50k square km to the indigenous population which will expand the native's territory to 12,5 percent of Brazilian's territory, over 1 Million km^2. Sounds good, if the mining and deforestation in those areas would stop, of course, too. Much better certainly than the US of A which 'boasts' 2.3% of its territory to be 'Indian reservations'.
Finally, Santa Claus gave a lot of free snow and ice to the Europeans and the Northamericans and something to think about, or should I say 'feel about'?
Happy Christmas to everybody from the whole gang here in the jungle :)
