Feliz Navidad!

Across the globe people celebrate Christmas in many different ways. Each and every country, and individual family, have different traditions for the holiday. In Germany, children in the family try and find the pickle in Christmas tree to obtain an extra present. In Ireland, children leave their shoes by their beds to receive candy when they awake. Christmas is universal whether you say Merry Christmas, or speak Spanish and say “Feliz Navidad”. Even though we live in America, listening to the Spanish song Feliz Navidad is very common. It’s a song that gets us in the Christmas spirit, while, at the same time, teaching us a few new spanish words. Even though we speak English, Spanish music is all around. Also, little things such as “Feliz Navidad” are easy ways to widen our Spanish vocabulary without even realizing it.
