Ok, next topic! Christmas! To start, I have never experienced Christmas in the summer so it was very different for me! Honestly, it really didn't feel like Christmas and it was hard to get into the Christmas spirit. Here they celebrate Christmas on the 24th at night so that was another thing that was really different.

We spent the day (24th) at the pool with family. We really didn't do too much except relax and enjoy the warm Argentinian sun. All of the photos above are with my cousins. We decided to get a little festive as you can see :)
After spending the day at the pool, it was time to get ready for the real festivities. Everyone changed into really nice clothes and we all went to church around 9 p.m.. After church, we returned home to have a great big dinner. We had a huge turkey, corn bread, lots of typical Argentinian salads, and pionono (thin sweet cake that they cover with salty things such as ham, cheese, avocado, and cucumber and then they roll it up and cut it in slices, I really hate it but shh!). When we finished dinner, we had lemon champange (champagne with a scoop of lemon ice cream) and dessert and then we went outside to watch the fireworks. After fireworks, we went inside to open gifts and then the rest of the night we just relaxed and talked.

On Christmas day we had a pig roast with all of the family and then it stormed and we lost power the rest of the day. That's about all I have for Christmas festivities folks! Next up, New Years!
