Natilla
Rice pudding
Buñuelos
Empanadas

My favorite carol

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth "

Key aspects of a Novena Navideña

In order to have a successful Novena Navideña you should have:
a Christmas tree, a Nativity Set, Christmas music (carols are preferred), a book with the prayers of each day and lots and lots of food!!!

What are Novenas Navideñas???

Novenas Navideñas are a series of nine celebrations that take place every day for nine consecutive days before Christmas day. They are usually held at night time when families and friends get together to prepare for the great day of Christmas. They usually have a big dinner, talk about the season, share their plans for Christmas day and most importantly they pray together. But what do they pray about? do they always repeat the same things for nine consecutive nights? No, every night has a different part of the story from when the Angel Gabriel announced that heaven had chosen Mary to be the Mother of Jesus, all the way through the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
