Yesterday Leap to Tomorrow
Navidad — World Calendar Day
World Calendar Day

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 — World Calendar Day
World Calendar Day

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.

Krismasi — World Calendar Day
Regional/Cultural Day

Krismasi

Kenyan Christmas is a family reunion. The urban migrants return to their rural homes, the matatus (minibuses) are packed, and the roads are jammed. The Christmas service is at midnight on the 24th, and the singing is joyful and loud. The Christmas meal is nyama choma (goat or beef), chapati, pilau (spiced rice), and mandazi (fried dough). The goat is bought live, slaughtered on site, and roasted over charcoal. The process takes all day, and the result is worth every hour.
