Christmas in Argentina.

The houses are decorated by red and white garlands. The Christmas tree is decorated by lights of colors and balls of colors.
It is a custom to ask the children with enough anticipation to write a letter to Dad Noel asking for gifts him. In Spain it is not a custom to write a letter to Dad Noel, but if to the Magi. These gifts are put under the tree of Christmas. Not only the children receive gifts but also the adults. The gifts are opened at 12 p.m., not before not later.
Almost all the families go to the church and return to house to a familymeeting. This holiday is special since Christ's birth is celebrated.
Diverse plates are served in the dinner of Christmas Eve, but most known it is the Argentine roast.
