On Christmas Eve (Noche Buena), the extended family join together for a succulent dinner around the turkey, stuffed with ground beef and peanuts and decorated with fresh slices of pineapple and cherries; roast potatoes and apple sauce. The desserts include marzipan and assorted bowls with raisins, almonds and the panettone, accompanied by a cup of thick hot chocolate.

t midnight, a toast is made, and good wishes and hugs are exchanged. A designated person runs to put Child Jesus in
the Nativity Scene. Then, the family members take their seat on the dining room while singing Christmas carols.
