Christmas

The Liberian Christmas is a church day, a family day, and a food day. The church service is at midnight on the 24th, and the singing is in English and the local languages. The Christmas meal includes jollof rice, fried chicken, cassava leaf, potato greens, and sweet potato pie. The children receive gifts, usually clothes and shoes, and the adults exchange visits. The Christmas is not about presents. It is about presence, and the tradition is to visit every relative you have on Christmas Day. The streets of Monrovia are decorated with lights, the churches are full, and the sound of Christmas carols mixes with the sound of Liberian gospel music.

Navidad

National holiday. The day after Nochebuena when everyone eats leftovers and recovers. Children play with toys, adults sleep, and the house smells like picana for three more days. This is the quietest day in Bolivia and it is earned.

Noel

National holiday. Catholic families attend morning mass, Muslim families visit neighbors, and everyone eats. The riz gras is extra rich, the chicken is extra big, and the children are extra happy. Burkina celebrates together regardless of faith because a holiday is a holiday and food is food.

Juledag

National holiday. The day after. Leftover duck, leftover pork, leftover everything. The children play with their gifts. The adults drink coffee. The house smells like candles and pine. Nothing happens. Nothing needs to happen. This is the hygge that the rest of the world talks about. It was never about the blankets. It was always about the pause.
