-- Posted by WickedWiccan at 10:59 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Puerto Rico has the longest Christmas in the world. 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.   -- Posted by Miss Vanity at 11:00 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Nice. -- Posted by ahhhhhh at 11:00 am on Dec. 23, 2008 that sounds warm...I'm freezing -- Posted by SpM at 11:01 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Christmas is enjoyable because it is a rare event, and for a few days of the year everyone grits their teeth and gets along with each other. That kind of goodwill is impossible to maintain over an extended period of time, and an extended Christmas just devalues the entire concept. -- Posted by robdude at 11:02 am on Dec. 23, 2008 too warm for Santa, he will pass out! -- Posted by WickedWiccan at 11:05 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from SpM at 2:01 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Christmas is enjoyable because it is a rare event, and for a few days of the year everyone grits their teeth and gets along with each other.

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. -- Posted by JennyBee at 11:05 am on Dec. 23, 2008 that sounds freaking amazingg. -- Posted by simplyamazing at 11:12 am on Dec. 23, 2008 i wanna go!
