i start off Christmas by waking up and seeing how many gift are under the tree. then i get ready and wait for my family to come and bring more gifts. once they all are here we eat the yummy food and after open presents. i want to say its almost they same in cuba. but they normally have they same food every year The traditional main dish is roast pork (some families like to roast a whole pig) normally served with fried plantains, rice and vegetables. thats the only diffrence.
