Christmas in the Dominican Republic:

People celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December but the Christmas season lasts all of December and part of January. They also have the same Santa as we do except he doesn't go down the chimney. For Christmas they have lots of food even the poor families have more food than they can eat. Dominicans celebrate Thanksgiving on the 24th of December they start eating and celebrating early in the day and don't stop till late that night. They get presents on Christmas and also give presents on January 6th which is called the day of kings. The day of kings is to remember the three wise men bringing gifts to Jesus. One really fun tradition that Dominicans do is called little angels. little angels is were friends and family draw names and give funny gifts to the person whose name they drew, without letting them know who gave it to them. Then on Christmas they give the person a really nice present and reveal who was the little angel.
