Sources: Gazeta Mercantil (and many others) and Brazil public holidays. Over the last few weeks a large number of Brazil's States and 5000+ municipalities have announced that both Monday, December 24, and Monday December 31, 2007, would be pontos facultativos (bridge public holidays for civil servants whose presence is not essential). The latest, to announce these, to date, was the State of Sao Paulo. It is therefore safe to assume that, throughout Brazil, on December 24 and 31, only the most essential government services will be functioning (and some are even declaring December 21 as well as ponto facultativo).
