Christmas Day is listed as a public holiday in Cameroon.
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.
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.
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.
National holiday. The biggest meal of the year. Chicken, rice, plantain, Ndole, and whatever else the family decides to add because Christmas is not the time for minimalism. The kids get new clothes, the adults get headaches from cooking, and the 33 bottles multiply as cousins appear from every direction.
A day for the quick meal, the regular customer, the busy cook, and the food people rely on between obligations.
A day for making room at the table when one more person shows up.
