The Nativity scene is also an important decoration for this country, and it is usually out near the Christmas tree. Christmas cards aren't very common in Argentina, and many of the activities take place on Christmas Eve, rather than Christmas Day. ]]> 2018-12-11 01:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hcps_albanesmt/Argentina_Christmas/wish/313225772 hcps_albanesmt https://padlet.com/hcps_albanesmt/Argentina_Christmas/wish/313228231 On Christmas Day, people in Argentina usually go to Christmas mass and then return home for a late dinner. Christmas Eve is usually when all of the celebrations take place. Some will have a large dinner with family and close friends, dance, listen to music, and then at midnight they will open presents. Also at midnight, people may set off fireworks and start the day off with a toast.]]> 2018-12-11 01:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hcps_albanesmt/Argentina_Christmas/wish/313228231 hcps_albanesmt https://padlet.com/hcps_albanesmt/Argentina_Christmas/wish/313229101 Some similarities between the two countries celebrating the holiday are that they both take place on the same day, December 25th.
