Christmas

Christmas is the most important festivity for christian people. This festivity is related to the birth of Jesus in Belen which is celebrated every December 25th.

These are some of the customs:

 

-Christmas ornaments: colored lights and some on the windows.

 

-A tree with a star on the top. This is better known as Christmas tree.

 

-Some parks are decorated with polar bears, snowmen and reindeer.

 

-Dinner is very special. For most people is usual to eat turkey or pork.

 

- Another one is known as week of advent. This begins in the last week of November and lasts until the week before Christmas week. All the family gets together and share some time by reading the bible and remembering Jesus Christ.

 

-Building the place where Jesus was born, the 3 Magic Kings, Maria and Jose is, perhaps, the funniest part of this celebration before December 24th.
