Hi everyone, and to those of you who celebrate Christmas: Feliz Navidad and to whoever doesn't: Happy Holidays

I was wondering who celebrates Noche Buena with their family?

Also what do you do in celebration of Christ's birth?

I love the caroling. What are your favorite carols?

Burrito de Belén, La Primera Navidad, Noche de Paz, A medianoche Se Oyó, Cascabel, Campanas de Navidad, Los Doce Días de Navidad, Escuchad el son Triunfal, Hoy en la tierra, Jesús en Pesebre, Navidad, Noche Sagrada, Los Peces en el Río, Oh Pueblecito de Belén, ¿Qué niño es éste?, Los Tres Reyes,¡Regocijad! Jesús Nació, y Ya Llegó la Navidad.

En Nochebuena mi familia come una cenar especial, generalmente mignon de filete y salmón. Después de la cena nosotros leamos el cuento de Navidad del Evangelio de Luke. Entonces cada persona abre un regalo, muy tonto o muy especial. ¡Un año yo recibí un reloj plástico formado como un pavo real; una vez yo recibí una pulsera de diamante!

On Christmas Eve my family eats a special dinner, usually filet mignon and salmon. After dinner we read the story of the first Christmas from the Gospel of Luke. Then each person opens a gift, very silly or very special. One year I received a plastic clock shaped like a peacock; one time I received a diamond bracelet!

Cuando era joven era un juerguista en la noche buena pero hoy en día tomo unas copas en casa con mi esposa. Me gusta el villancico Noche de luz,noche de paz known to us as Silent night holy night.

What's Noche Buena? I celebrate Christmas, on Christmas Eve we go to my grandma's house and play White Elephant, on Christmas day my family all come over to open gifts. I like caroling too, my favorite song is Silent Night and I recently learned how to play on my flute! smile Feliz Navidad!

Buenas noches is used to say good night. You would never use nochebuena to wish someone goodnight. However it does translate to good night - CubaLibre68, Jan 3, 2010
