Tuoi said: "The citizens in Vigo are quite mindless about the whole Vovid situation. Bars and pubs here are still open till 5 a.m. People enjoy Christmas really much. It's the festive time of the year when everyone in the family gathers around and talks about the whole year. It's really great, and we are having such a great time.

Here are some scenes of Vigo, Spain where the vibrant color of Christmas is seen with a touch of snow.

Cam Tu said: "Because my husband and I share the same birthday just a week before Christmas, it's a fantastic time for us. We're feeling it, and this year is even better because we have a tree in our new home in Melbourne, Australia.

"We were living in Hanoi before my husband received a job in Melbourne and we planned to leave soon after, but because my second child was young and Covid occurred, I opted to stay in Vietnam since I was scared that my children could catch Covid. After over two years apart, I'm relieved to finally be reunited with my spouse and children."
