Target language: English

Christmas in Puerto Rico, is the most awaited time for Puerto Ricans. Family and friends get together to share their joy and wishes for the New Year. Itâ€™s the time of union and happiness.

The homes are decorated with lights and Christmas images. And inside the homes is the Christmas tree with presents under it. Children wait until midnight to open their presents and play with them until the early morning.
