Feliz Navidad & Merry Christmas! I absolutely love this day…maybe I should give you an insight about how we Colombian people celebrate it! First we start with a tradition called Novela–Its a nine day gathering with family and friends, we sing Villancicos ( Christmas Carols in Spanish) and we eat traditional Colombian pastries and such. On Christmas Eve, we usually have a pretty big dinner, we dance latin music…a collection of Salsa, Merengue, Vallenato & maybe some Bachata. Whew…the dancing is a pretty big deal..there are steps to each one of these types of music. ( I think I should eventually explain this part further!). On the 24th, we stay up until 12am…Christmas time! We open up presents then and usually dance some more! I really really enjoy the time with my friends and my family. So, however you celebrate, I wish to you an awesome day! I leave you with a photo of Miles! Merry Christmas!
