9 Crazy Latin American Christmas Traditions - Joanna Rants

Christmas is a hardcore holiday in Latin America and every country has its own absurd traditions. From 9-day-long parties to baking plastic babies into cakes, baby Jesus' birthday both confuses and delights Joanna while proving once again that Latinos go "HAM" on Christmas.

[@wakeenmo2270]

in mexico we only care about xmas eve, the 25th is just meh vamos a seguir comiendo

[@sophiaruizuvalle2523]

claro que no, si nos importa, el 25 es el inicio oficial del ultimo recalentado del año, donde vas con el lado de la familia con quien no estuviste en navidad

[@leticiafigueroa9142]

I think the celebration starts around december 12th, and ends around january 6th :) not really christmas-christmas, but "fiestas decembrinas" and stuff.

[@mraverageunknown52]

Never forget the name is given, traditionally called "Maratón Guadalupe - Reyes" :'D

[@montserratcruz2212]

Not really, for many I think starts like on the first sunday or something (you know the religious tradition) and the posadas and it finishes with the candelaria...depends on the family traditions also.

[@kellycelmira]

en colombia es importante, pero pasar el guayabo(resaca, borrachera) así como el primero de enero, jajaja ponen a los niños a abrir los regalos a media noche para ponerlos a dormir en la mañana y que los papas pueda descansar y en la tarde salir a río, playa o donde sea

[@jorgeguzmanm99]

You have to do a big meal on December 24 because you have to eat "el recalentado" until january 6.

[@Isabela-ub1fx]

Jorge Guzmán and the rest of january, there is so much food i am eating Pastel en Hoja right now (dominican tradition on Christmas) ok, no, but is too much food :v

Is having 9 christmas parties instead of one and each with a different set of people

[@jennygarcia7527]

I'm Mexican-American. As a Catholic. We started our Christmas with La Dia De La Virgen (December 12) when Mother Mary appeared to San Juan. We go to mass, sing Las Mañanitas, eat, break the piñata, los matechines dance. Then we also do the posadas. In my family some one volunteered to dress up as Mary, Joseph, and an Angel. (My family lived on the same street) We would go walking from door to door singing about how Mary and Joseph are walking to find an inn. When we get to a family door they sing that there is no room. We go to each house until we reach the host house and they let us in. Then we pray the Rosary which is a reflection of the life of Jesus and Mary. Then we kiss baby Jesus. We break a piñata and its lots of fun!

[@cynthiarose2917]

Can someone explain this to me. Like We decorate right after thanksgiving and leave up decorations after Christmas but we only have 1 or 2 designated days to open presents. Christmas eve and Christmas day. When you say it starts and ends do you give gifts everyday through that month or how does it work for you?

the fact that in the usa you have to wait till the 25th in the morning to open your presents, and in latin america you stay up all night, wait till its midnight and open your gifts, much better i think

Soy uruguayo, y estoy seguro que a casi todos los latinos les debe de haber pasado esto (quizás a los argentinos y chilenos que viven al sur no, pero bue). Llega diciembre y en todos los canales pasan dibujitos y especiales de navidad donde hace frío y nieva y todos abrigados hasta la cabeza y luego se sientan frente al fueguito con el perro mientras ven cómo la nieve tapa todo. Y yo acá gritando: "¡Mamá, ¿Cuándo viene la nieve?!". Y mi madre: "¡'Tas en pedo con este calor! ¡Hay 40ºC, así que ponte protector solar antes de ir a la playa!"

En Mexico le llámanos de muchas maneras, Santa Claus, Papá Noe, niño Jesús. Y los reyes magos es hasta el 6 de enero como tu dices.

[@datiko5654]

San Nicolas? 27 years old Costa Rican and never heard that for Santa. We call Santa Santa Clos (make emphasis on the last S) or ''Colacho'', which is a word spread from ''Colocho'' that means Curly Hair.

[@randomuser5914]

In Nicaragua, at the beginning of December, we celebrate la Virgen in a Purisima which is basically a shrine of her and we pray the rosary and sing songs off key and hand out gifts. It's awesome :)

[@juanitaduque5535]

In Colombia, Santa is called Papa Noel too

[@luisaojeda5611]

[@camilathielen]

+Joanna Hausmann Como siempre buenísimo el video, pero te faltaron las tradiciones/ritos que hace el venezolano en la noche del 31 como: comer 12 uvas cuando empiezan las 12 campanadas para la buena suerte durante el año; darle la vuelta a la manzana con tu maleta para viajar durante el año; meterse unos $ en el zapato para que entre dinero en este nuevo año; colocar en la mañana del 31 un tobo de agua en la mitad de la casa para absorber las malas energías acumuladas; comer el 1/1 lentejas para la prosperidad; tener puesto ropa intima amarilla para la buena suerte...son un poco locas pero el venezolano sigue sus tradiciones cada año PD: HAPPY HOLIDAYS JOANNA Y HAPPY 2016!

[@PNere5]

+Camila Thielen En mi casa ponemos el dolar con 100bs debajo del plato de la cena y nos echamos un tobo de agua de concha de mandarina cuando nos bañamos xD y las lentejas nunca faltaaan pero con la apuradera siempre nos las comemos frias!!! recién sacadas de la nevera!! xddd

I have heard the same songs that my Mexican parents sang for so long and it goes like “pero mire cómo viene los peces en el río, viene viene y vuelve a venir, los peces en el río por ver a dios nacer” I heard also: “con mi burrito sabanero voy camino de Belen, si me ven si me ven voy camino de belen” And: “Belen, campañas de Belén, que los ángeles tocan, que nuevas me traéis”

Minute 4:14 Dear Joanna, in Boyacá, Colombia, near this place called Villa de Leyva, there's this huge dessert that has nothing but pine trees....IDK why or how, they're just there. Btw we Colombians sometimes do the following during Christmas time: -Have purposefully yellow underwear for good luck -Run around the house or block carrying suitcases -At new years eve we swallow 12 whole grapes, one for each strike the clock gives at midnight -Shortly afterward the above mentioned activities, we tend to throw out eggs and flour to innocent bystanders on the street while drinking sailable quantities of various alcoholic beverages, you know, to wrap it all up.

[@marianaduque7301]

en LIMA-PERU, generalmente se come PAVO, se toma CHOCOLATE CALIENTE Y PANETON (es un aporte de la inmigración italiana y que es parte de cultura limeña, apesar que es VERANO se come cosas calientes y llenas calorias... contradicción total) y se da regalos, principalmente a los niños.... y no se cree mucho en PAPA NOEL, y los adornos navideños hacen referencia al invierno europeo AUNQUE EN LIMA HACE CALOR..... plop.

[@franciscosiles]

Jajaja veo q me ganaste, eso de tomar Chocolate Caliente es epico, en pleno calor y humedad del Verano y tomando Chocolate Caliente

[@palopiza]

Y las mamás te despiertan durante todo diciembre con los villancicos de Luis Miguel o peor aún los 'Toribianitos', que suenan como la versión humana de los Chipmunks.

en toodo el Peru es igual creo :D , paneton, pavo y se toma chocolate caliente (en la sierra sur si cae bien un chocolate por las noches, porque en el sur el verano es temporada de lluvia :D )

[@vondywhenever]

Vivo en el extranjero por más de una década y los villancicos aún me persiguen. Donde haya peruanos se escuchan los Toribianitos, se come panetón y se toma chocolate caliente aunque te quemes la lengua.

In Brazil Christmas is pretty much like in all latin america. The only thing that makes me excited is that it comes the time of the year that I can eat Apfelstrudel, seriously, everybody in the city waits the whole year to eat that.

[@alinextina9767]

+Adriana Lima You're from the south of Brazil? You guys just eat Apfelstrudel in Christmas, I mean, is not actually a Christmas food you can eat the whole year.

I Puerto Rico, we celebrate Christmas from the day after Thanksgiving and finished around February. We celebrate Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, Los Reyes Magos, Las Octavitas (8 days of celebrations after Three Kings Day), La Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián in January and by then is almost February and we celebrate Las Fiestas de la Candelaria. A tradition in PR is to do Parrandas!! A group of people that do an unexpected visit to families and friends in the daw of the night; with loud music!! The people the receive the parranda welcome the group with traditional food and drinks and a good asopado de pollo!! Love puertorricans Christmas! 🇵🇷 🎄

[@0531Amanda]

In Cuba at midnight on New Year’s Eve people grab a suitcase and go around the block chanting and dancing, which it’s supposed to bring travels in the new year.... we also throw buckets of water out of our front doors and windows to represent a cleansing and a fresh start

[@staticbuzzzz]

In Colombia at dec 7 it's the day of "velitas" or candles, that day we eat natilla and buñuelos (we eat those in every party, the entire month of december) and fire candles and the streets look beautiful.

[@luzgracielavictoriahenao5386]

[@ProximaCentauri88]

In the Philippines, Christmas starts from the month of September until January (sometimes February when we still like seeing Christmas decors at home). We celebrate misa de gallo and misa de aguinaldo 9 days before Christmas Day. We also treat ham (hamón) a special Christmas dish with quezo de bola and puto bumbong, the purple rice cake sold in front of Catholic churches. We hang parol or the star-shaped lantern which symbolizes the star of Bethlehem. There are several regional ways of celebrating Christmas in the country. In my region Bicol, we have traditional carols called Pastores (de Belen) and in Bohol Island (I think), they role play the nights where St. Joseph and Mary were looking for places to give birth to Jesus (Santo Niño) by knocking at the neighbors' doors and asking them to allow them to take shelter for the pregnant Mary. December is also the month of lots of Chistmas parties in every barrio where people dance and get drunk. LOL

[@vomer97]

In Puerto Rico my dad told me about parandas which is like the hispanic versio of carolers except way more exciting. For instance parandas are groups of people with instruments that come to your house to sing christmas songs at night and they wont leave until you take a shot with them. My dad said they would buy liquior and my coquito in case a paranda came by.
