Hello, Bases & Flyers!

We’re sliding into the last stretch of the year and December is already peeking over the horizon. Personally, I’m packing for Thailand to chase some winter sun and can’t wait to carve out training days at the park.

Before holiday chaos hits, I wanted to drop this December events round-up for anyone planning their last ush of classes, festivals, or big travel before holiday mode kicks in.

So expect in today’s issue:

St. Nicholas Day | Various cities, Europe | Dec 6
Children wake to small gifts in shoes, parades fill town squares, and costumed processions celebrate the legend of St. Nicholas as a guardian of generosity.

Festa da Conceição | Salvador, Brazil | Dec 8
A major Catholic celebration honoring Nossa Senhora da Conceição da Praia with processions, church ceremonies, and packed streets filled with music and food.
