Out of the Christmas BoxAs I write, the shopping malls that service prosperous Brazilians are stocking up with sweltering Santas.Flyers for supermarkets are decorated with pictures of holly, fairy lights, balloons and Santas, and puff cut-price super-size Coke w , beer, Nestle Liquid Bliss w yoghurts, peaches in syrup, processed meats, biscoitos recheados (with creme fillings), Twix w , Snickers w and the everlasting chemical panetones that middle-class wives present to their servants at Christmas, perhaps as a revenge for work badly done.Yes, here in Brazil as in all 'market economies', we are loading up in preparation for an outsurge of a barriga nacional (the national belly) and our contribution to the global Yuletide eructation on a bovine scale, liable to knock some more stuffing out of the ozone layer.I here include some stories about what may be filling the stockings and the stomachs of children and their parents in Brazil and all over the world this Christmas
