Fireworks and pooping in the nativity scene: 8 of these foreign Christmas traditions we also want in Zoetermeer

Dancing with the neighbors

Compared to the celebration of Noche Buena, or Christmas Eve, in Latin America, our extended family dinners in Zoetermeer are rather subdued. Not only do Latin Americans spend days in the kitchen preparing the feast, but at midnight they let fireworks explode through the sky. People go outside to make music and dance. With the whole family, friends and neighbors. Until the late hours.
