This year on Christmas Eve we enjoyed a typical Colombian Noche Buena with our good friend and empleada Nidia in the middle with her family which consists of her husband, her four daughters, two sons in law and their little grandson. We were in their home and had a wonderful time. The Colombians celebrate Christmas at midnight and open their gifts. Papa Noel found the family as well. All the young people get new shoes to wear on Dec. 24.
