Aruba

Hello everyone, in Aruba we have a very special Christmas celebration. After attending on Christmas Eve to the church, everyone goes back to their family. Celebration starts with Christmas dinner and family gathering singing Aruban songs and dancing all night long. Everyone eats ayaca, salted ham and salmon. Here on Aruba we say: "Bon Pasco" and we start preparing for new year. Then we say : "Bon Anja". And with this phrase we finish, wishing all of you the best for Christmas and the new millennium.
