People go the church with family, then come back to a family gathering. At midnight after eating we toast, then the adults dance while younger people go out to see the fireworks. After this we go to sleep, but before opening the presents under the Christmas tree. The dinner food is pork, turkey and a great variety of meals.

Then the table is covered with sweet things, cider, juice for consuming while waiting for the time of the toast. After the toast all the family chat, sing or play. Houses are decorated with red and white garlands, on the door Christmas's Boots are placed. The Chritsmas tree is decorated with coloured lights, ornaments and the star placed on top of it.

Mothers make different kinds of meals such as roasted turkey, roasted pork, stuffed tomatoes, Christmas's bread and puddings. The toast: drink prepared with different kinds of fruit which is cut into pieces, then it is mixed with juice and cider. The foods are all served cold because it is summer time and most of the people live in the warmer climates. Many people from Buenos Aires spend Christmas at the beach in Mar del Plata (about 1,000,000) tourists at Christmas.

'Dance in Argentina'

En Argentina, el Tango es la música folklórica por excelencia. Se empezo a bailar por 1880 en los Corrales Viejos en Parque Patricios, al sur de Buenos Aires. Si bien Carlos Gardel es el alma del Tango, Astor Piazzolla, Mariano Mores, Aníbal Troilo y Juan de Dios Filiberto entre otros, inmortalizaron el Tango. Lo que empezo siendo una música prohibida por su enorme cuota de sensualidad y pasión, es hoy la imagen de la estampa porteña.

In Argentina, tango is, far and away, folk music. It starts being danced in 1880 in the Corrales Viejos in Parque Patricios, south of Buenos Aires. Even though Carlos Gardel represents the soul of Tango, others like Astor Piazzolla, Mariano Mores, Aníbal Troilo and Juan de Dios Filiberto inmortalized it even more. What started as a forbidden music due to its big amount of sensuality and passion, is nowadays the image of Buenos Aires.
