This is Christmas

In Santiago of the 30 Knights: Dominican Republic

Christmas is an opportunity to maintain these binding bonds, either with ginger and the "mañanitas", or with the punch and other gastronomic traditions of the season, and within this propitious setting to share, reunions are generated. It is the time to return to the maternal home, to the country when you reside abroad. Return not only physically, rediscover not only the present, but also recover the past as a link with the activities that identify the season. In this sense, celebrating Christmas is transformed into a complex cultural ritual that Dominicans perform, thus transmitting the tradition to subsequent generations.

Our Christmas was and still is an accumulation of customs. The healthy habit of sharing a table, joys and hopes. In neighborhoods, where collective coexistence tends to be closer and direct, those customs are preserved much more strongly.
The key has always been to share. The table, the Christmas Eve dinner plate, the gifts with family and friends, the Christmas carols, the New Year hugs. The complicity of the Christmas decoration that arises among the smallest of the home, promotes family integration, generates feelings of empathy, develops the ability to work as a team, to collaborate for a common welfare: the beautification of the physical space that is shared daily It is what identifies us as domonicans.
