Christmas in Colombia is a religious feast and the time when the families meet. We put up our decorations which must include the “pesebre” or nativity and the Christmas tree.
Christmas starts on the 16th of December. From that day all the families join to pray the “novena to the virgen” every night until the 24th(A novena is a set of prayers repeated for nine consecutive days).
On Christmas Eve, our dinner is usually “lechona” (rice with vegetables) and chicken; and “natilla, Pandebono and buñuelos” for desert. At midnight we open our presents and the feast starts.
On Christmas Day we wake up very late and relax.
On the 31st of December many families meet in their “fincas” (a rural property) to make a human size rag doll stuffed with fireworks. This doll represents the old year. At midnight we eat twelve grapes (like in Spain) and after that, we burn the doll and we have a feast called “rumba”
We don´t celebrate the Three Wise Kings.
Christmas in my country is great!
Happy Christmas!
