The longest xmas season worldwide is xmas in Puerto Rico. Holidays start on Turkey Day and end Feb 2nd on Candelaria when you burn the xmas tree.
Enjoy!

@floryloughead What about Reyes on January 6? Don't you keep the tree up long enough for that? I can see the sense of burning it on Candelaria, though.
@floryloughead You're right! I got it backwards. 😊
@AmaryllisLanza Let's not forget that Pepe Baraja was governor of PR. His government was known as the three B's. Botella (bottle), Baile (dancing), Baraja (card games).
Conquistadors had a hard time with Tainos because they liked to party more than working. My experience tells me that not much has changed in 500 years.
@floryloughead LOL. There is a long tradition of festivities in all Hispanic countries. Entre Santos y Virgenes la fiesta no para. Life is too short not to feast and dance as often as we can get away with it.
🎉💃
@AmaryllisLanza Long time ago, when I was still living in PR, we started in Sept with my birthday, had family parties every weekend till February. It was so much fun!
@floryloughead It sounds awesome. 😁
@AmaryllisLanza Sure. Candelaria is in February.
Reyes is in January. Then there's Octavas, Octavitas, and then Candelaria
