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

Nwel

Christmas in the Seychelles is celebrated with midnight mass, family feasts, and beach time. The traditional meal includes grilled fish, pork curry, rice, chatini, and ladob. The AHA! moment: Christmas falls in the middle of the northwest monsoon, which means warm rain, warm ocean, and warm food. The idea of a white Christmas is absurd in the Seychelles, and no one wants one.
