Spanish Christmas

Spanish Christmas and Christmas celebrations began with Las Posadas, a nine day candelight parade, and a lively party beginning on December 16th. Mexican children gathered in the afternoon and reinterpreted the travel of the Holy Family to stay in Bethlehem. The parade is guided by the little Virgin Mary who lives well in the scenes led by the same small San Jose. Followed by angels, Santos Reyes and other children preparing for pasture and meadow, they are usually brightly decorated with colorful handmade costumes on the Buxor or Faroe Islands It is decorated.

When surprisingly find Christmas, they are usually surprised. However, Christmas in Spain is very different. This sounds odd, but Christmas starts in Spain on 22nd December. It was the day of Loteria de Navidad (Christmas lottery). I think this is one of the most moving days of the year. Every Spanish (literally) has purchased this lottery ticket, so everyone is looking forward to knowing which one is the winning number. A village or community that was lucky to be the place where all the press reported on-site activities and where Gordo (first prize) was sold was the star of the day. Night on the 24th (Nochebuena, meaning goodnight) is one of two main activities. People are used to dinner with their families, and this special dinner has the opportunity to introduce all the power of Spanish cuisine. Menus vary by region, but they are very rich. Seafood, Besso (fish), Turkey (American tradition!)

Lotus American culture Nochebuena is often the biggest feast of Christmas, the Spanish annual tradition. Nochebuena (literally means "good night") is Spanish for Christmas Eve. Spain, Latin America and the Philippines include a traditional family dinner in the evening. Roasted pigs and lechon are usually the center of Nochebuena and are used in festivals all over the world. This tradition is believed to go back to the 15th century that Caribbean colonists chased pigs and burned with a powerful flame.

For Christmas, Christmas is always my Christmas with my father and mother. And my Spanish grandmother will tell me the Spanish Christmas story. Christmas carol in Spanish is a villa. She often sings a song about telling to the giddyap to 驴 (borriquito), faster, we will be late, we will go to Bethlehem, tomorrow is a part of the second day of the festival. With this in mind, I realized that the key to this problem is that Latin American countries (I was born in Buenos Aires) and Christmas Eve on Christmas Eve are almost more important than Christmas. This is the case of our family because I remembered it. When I was a child, I was taken to a mass at midnight until I could open a gift. Someone told me that Santa Claus went to the mass at midnight.
