It starts the day after Thanksgiving and ends on January 7. You get presents for Santa Claus and the Three Kings. And the temp is 82.

People love Christmas and they're always making food for everybody and giving presents. We have parrandas which means you go to somebody's house late at night and sing and play music until they open up and let you in. You eat there, then the people in that house come with you to wake up somebody else and then they come with you. The group gets bigger and bigger and you're going from house to house until the morning. robdude Posted at 11:02 am on Dec. 23, 2008 too warm for Santa, he will pass out!
