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.

Navidad — World Calendar Day
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.

Bada Din — World Calendar Day
Regional/Cultural Day

Bada Din

Nepal is 85 percent Hindu and 8 percent Buddhist, and Christmas is not a public holiday, but the celebration has been adopted with enthusiasm by the younger generation. Shopping malls in Kathmandu are decorated with Christmas trees, restaurants offer Christmas menus, and Thamel is lit with fairy lights. The celebration is secular, commercial, and fun, and it has become an excuse for a party in a city that loves any reason to celebrate. The small Christian community (about 1.4 percent of the population) attends midnight mass, and the churches are decorated with marigolds instead of poinsettias.
