24th december

Christmas in Argentina is very similar to Christmas in Spain, The main difference is that they celebrate Christmas in summertime. Another difference is that in Argentina the 24 December, they go to mass. After that the family gathers at home and they have a very nice dinner, they eat cold food, because it’s hot. At midnight they open the presents next to the Christmas tree. Then they see fireworks. They go to bed very late. We would love to celebrate christmas in Argentina.
