This is a little summary Micah wrote about Christmas here...
Christmas in the Domincan Republic
In the Dominican Republic Christmas is celebrated in a different way. The three dates I write about are the important dates celebrated here.
The first is Nochebuena or Christmas Eve. In the morning people go and buy candies, fruits (pears, grapes), and different types of food to cook. The day is spent cooking up a big feast. That night they eat. They also make a bonfire and drink ginger tea. This is what they do on the 24th of December.
The second date is Navidad or Christmas. It is celebrated in family time. They shoot off lots of fireworks and enjoy the leftovers from Christmas Eve.
The last date is Dia de Reyes or Kings' Day, the 6th of January. It is celebrated by gift giving like the three magi when visiting Jesus.
These are all teh dates I have to tell you about.
Love,
Micah
