Navidad

La Navidad liberiana es un día de iglesia, un día de familia y un día de comida. El servicio religioso es a la medianoche del 24, y los cantos son en inglés y en los idiomas locales. La comida navideña incluye arroz jollof, pollo frito, hojas de yuca, hojas de papa y pastel de batata. Los niños reciben regalos, generalmente ropa y zapatos, y los adultos intercambian visitas. La Navidad no se trata de regalos. Se trata de presencia, y la tradición es visitar a cada pariente que tienes el Día de Navidad. Las calles de Monrovia están decoradas con luces, las iglesias están llenas y el sonido de los villancicos se mezcla con el de la música gospel liberiana.

World Calendar Day

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.

Regional/Cultural Day

Hari Krismas

National holiday. The Christian minority celebrates openly, the Muslim majority respects it, and the whole country gets the day off. Brunei's diversity includes Chinese New Year, Deepavali, and Christmas, and the mutual respect is not performative, it is lived. Every Bruneian has wished a Christian neighbor Merry Christmas and meant it.
