Sunda’s Christmas in Angola

By SUNDA MANUEL

Christmas in my country (Angola) is the most beautiful and busy time in the country. At this time, houses are decorated in every way, and for those who have little means for professional decoration, they use what they have, including paper, the streets are decorated by young people and children from the community.

Children don’t celebrate Christmas with old clothes and hair, people have to buy new clothes for their children. Christmas dinner is held on the 24th. On the 25th, most families go to church in the morning and then there is a parade of children in the streets showing off their clothes and hair. Young people play music in the streets and everyone celebrates the birth of Christ with lots of joy and dancing.
