Christmas Day. Note that Christmas Day is not a big deal for most
|
| |
|
Dominicans, even if it is a national holiday. The real Dominican
Nativity |
| |
|
celebration takes place on Christmas Eve, when families get together
to share |
| |
|
a late-night dinner of too many foods and too much to drink--similar
to the American Thanksgiving Dinner. |
