Portuguese Christmas songs (which may turn into January songs)

Imagem
 The Christmas repertoire of Portugal, as common in Catholic  and Orthodox countries is mostly (Christian-)faith-based (descriptions of the several elements and details of the Nativity story from Gabriel's annunciation of Mary's immaculate conception all the way to the exile in Egypt, in whole or in part, describing worshipping the Deus menino /God infant/baby Jesus in the manger He was born in according to Luke, describing the Virgin Mary during the Nativity story or family scenes during the early life of Jesus, and when expressions of things common in more secularised Christmas songs like giving, family and community coming together, the sadness of being poor on Christmas or the cold weather appear they tend to be given through singing on the Magos /Magi/Wisemen Kings, the Sagrada Família /Holy Family, the worship of the poor shepherds or the poor first Christmas of Jesus and his family).

Portuguese martial arts: "Galhofa", the north-central-eastern wrestling in jest

Imagem
 I n the northeastern Portuguese region of Trahs-os-Montes (and today to a lesser extent in the central Beiras /"Marches"  region, where in the Sabugal municipality it was still practiced in the early 20th century), there is a folk fighting style of wrestling ( luta-livre in Portuguese) called Galhofa (literally meaning "Jest", due to the oldtimey practice including not only the grappling wrestling moves but in general incentivising quick-thinking as in play-insults and retorts in the flyting manner and merrymaking and drinking together along the way) or in the civil parish of Soito (Sabugal municipality) Maluta ("Muhfight" as corruption of "My-fight").

Gotham City Sirens #10  Probably the most famed Portuguese martial art is jogo do pau  (literally "stick game", also known in Portugal as jogar as canas , "playing/casting the reeds/canes" or  combate a / jogo de varapau , "combat by beanbagpole/beanbagpole game"), a form of stick fencing shared by Portugal and the northern neighbouring and related Spanish region of Galicia/ Galiza  (especially common in the areas around the borderlands and Galician Minho/Miño river, to the point that Galician Xanquin Lorenzo Fernandez proposed a Portuguese origin to its presence in Galician borderlands). It is not exactly known when or how it started, nor how old it is. Like many similar stick fighting arts, it mostly came from peasants practicing and fighting (mostly raiders/invaders or to settle small quarrels) with farming tools or easily made clubs and (quarter)staffs out of tree branches they could find all around them in the countryside and woods, and country gents...
