Papa Noel wishes feliz navidad – Telluride, Colorado
Tagged: Colorado, PeruPosted on: December 15th, 2006“In Karla Wieder’s native Peru, Christmas is more or less similar to that of the U.S.; the date, the decorations, the general purpose all match.
But when you get down to the nuances that surround the holiday, the customs and traditions, food and music, then it begins to resemble a different thing entirely.
Take Christmas Eve. In Peru, Wieder said, it’s a party akin to our New Year’s. People throw huge get-togethers with friends and families, they dance, break pinatas, eat and drink. At midnight, champagne is popped, fireworks are lit, presents are torn open, and everyone parties on, not retiring until just before dawn.”
