The christmas in Colombia - Traditions. Christmas in my country is very cheerfull. On December 7th and 8th, we celebrated, turn on candles and lanterns in the streets and in our houses, in honor oh the Virgin Mary. Sounds music in the streets and everyone shares in harmony. Christmas is celebrated on December 24th, families gather in the houses, we make dinner, dance in the streets, we make roasts and eat chicharrones and bananas. My birthday is On December 31th, the party is more intense, we make many agüeros, at night we dance and share with families and neighbors, we eat a lot and at 12 of midnight we burn rag dolls disguised as any character, wich we will call "Año viejo" "Old year"stuffed with dynimite and we toasted in the new year in the streets. The party always continues until january 2nd or 3th Thank's for your corrections! Regards ;)
