Hey there, my friends,

It’s been a few weeks since I last sat down to write on my blog, but today, after taking a walk around Oviedo, I suddenly felt like posting on Hive again.

Maybe it was the Christmas lights all over the city that got me inspired.

I think that when I came across those stars, something clicked — kind of like how the Three Wise Men followed a star to find baby Jesus.

During my walk, I had a great time checking out the Christmas markets in the cathedral square.

And I also really enjoyed the nativity scene exhibition in Trascorrales Square.

It’s close to the town hall square, where the Christmas lights look pretty much the same as every other year.

But this time there’s something different: they’ve hung these huge Christmas balls, and I used them to do a little “reflection hunt” so I could join the weekly contest organized by olgavita@olgavita.

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas season and a great start to 2026.
