. Christmas celebrations in Puerto Rico begin in November on Thanksgiving Day and do not stop on December 25th. The celebrations can continue into the middle of January if you consider the ''octavas and octavitas''. The big Christmas celebrations are; December 24 - Nochebuena; December 25 - Navidad; December 31 - Despedida de Año; and the biggest and most important of all for the children, of course, el Día de Reyes on January 6th. This is much like Christmas on the mainland. Children wake up much too early to check out what Baltazar, Melchor, and Gaspar left them. Family and friends gather to celebrate. They are followed by the Octavas that are eight more days of celebration. Originally these were more religious in nature and were used to glorify the Reyes and the Christ child. At the end of the Octavas we begin with the Octavitas; that are eight additional days of celebrations with The Party of the San Sebastian Street in Old San Juan City. All ends January 20.

Les enfants doivent être impatients.
