Christmas Eve in Colombia

Christmas Eve, December 24th, is the main day of celebrations in Colombia. Adults and older children stay up until midnight to open their presents and then spend until dawn playing with gifts, feasting and watching fireworks in the night sky.

Tim & I would like to wish everyone happy holidays and we hope that everyone has a wonderful time with their friends and family this holiday season. We want to give some extra big hugs to all the waiting mothers and fathers out there like us who are yearning just as bad as we to hold their little bebe in their arms by the glow of the Christmas tree. Our time will come! Happy Holidays!

I am enjoying the little information about the Colombian Holy Days and holidays. Interesting to know they have Christmas Eve on the 19th. I just assumed it was celebrated on the 24th everywhere.
I know your first Christmas with your baby will be wonderful and we can't wait either.
