Wish you guys a merry Christmas!

If you are coming down to Brazil for new year's eve in the next couple of days, expect a complete party guide here on the blog early next week. Hope you all have a great weekend with your friends and family.

Don't worry. I am definitely not going to become one of those bloggers that annoys you with a million picture updates of their dog, but I got a puppy over the weekend, and he is just so freaking cute I felt posting a picture. His name is Oliver.

I will be blogging from Punta del Este for the next two weeks. This is supposed to be a vacation for me, but I will do my best to keep the blog updated daily, and to post pictures from here on twitter as well (follow the blog @blogmib). If you are in Rio or Florianópolis for new year's, I would love it if you could email me pictures of the beach and the parties to share with other MIB readers.

I wish all of you a merry Christmas! I will be taking a break from blogging today and tomorrow, but I am leaving you with one of my favorite Christmas songs, sang by the cast of my favorite new TV show this year.

It's official. I have just learned through twitter and facebook that the blackout is not only in São Paulo, but in 70% of the country. My hometown of Porto Alegre miraculously has electricity, so my mom has been giving me news updates as well. My guess is this is going to last for a while, so I should be saving the battery on my blackberry as opposed to writing this, but I just couldn't resist. Sort of reminds me of that New York blackout years ago, only this time I am not at the Mercer having free drinks, and this is happening throughout the entire freaking country.

If you hear more about the blackout, post it on the comments section please. Now am off to eating a pint of icecream which will otherwise melt in the fridge.

I will be taking a break from the blog for a couple of days, so I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. My gift is after the jump.
