Christmas in Uruguay
by: Brenna Gregory
Fireworks
They shoot off fireworks on Christmas Eve to celebrate Jesus' birth.
Papa Noel
They call Santa, Papa Noel. He delivers all of the presents to everyone at 12 sharp.
Papa Noel's Star
Papa Noel comes from a star in the sky, not the North Pole. Families bring their kids outside and point to a star in the sky while a relative inside sets out all of the presents.
Barbecue
Since Christmas is during summer break, almost everyone barbecues food for their Christmas Eve parties.
