As a result, Christmas Day is more about recovery than festivities. If you have an ear for Spanish , you might notice that Cubans have some unique terms of endearment. Revelers dance, eat traditional food and take part in regional ceremonies. The town is split into red and blue sides, which inhabitants are free to choose, which then face off in dance battles. Spectators will be able to experience a slice of traditional country life.
Cubans believe that burning an effigy helps get rid of the bad things that might have happened in the past year, before setting off fireworks to celebrate the good that is coming in the new year. Onwards to next year! I was born on September 9, and my parents chose my name out of superstition, but my mother raised me outside the religion professed by her family.
I wear this cap from time to time, but I assure you I just didn't have a better picture. Your email address will not be published. Of huge importance are the dresses, the photos, and the fiesta!! A public display in a car or carriage will only happen if the money can stretch that far!
Driving around town in a fancy car of carriage is a costly business and not many can afford this extravagance! A selection of dresses will be collected, bought, borrowed or rented and the young lady will be photographed in different outfits and in different locations.
Hair, makeup and jewellery are all part of the ritual and the resulting photographs are displayed proudly in every home by mother and grandmothers. The extent of the photo taking is entirely dependent on available funds. The Cuban Christmas tradition in Cuba does not include the exchange of gifts or any mention of Santa Claus.
New Year's traditions in Cuba involve a theme of doing away with the bad times from the previous year and looking forward to the good times of the new year. Symbolic of this, a doll is burned on New Year's Eve to represent the discarding of the bad times of the past year. Instead of burning a doll, some Cubans will throw water over their shoulder. Cubans celebrate New Year's with large firework displays in celebration of the good times to come.
Cuban foods are foods that are not typically written down in recipes, instead the tradition is for families to pass down recipes orally from generation to generation. Cooking styles that include complex and heavy sauces, or deep frying are not typical of Cuban cuisine. Garlic, cumin and oregano are common spices used in Cuban cooking. Using fruit juices as marinades is traditional in Cuban cuisine as well.
