In each newsletter we will share a tid-bit about Panamanian life. Something unique, interesting or fun.
Christmas in the tropics is different. It feels strange to see Christmas lights on people's houses, malls decked out with a line to see Santa and Christmas trees going up all while it's 80 degrees outside. Although palm trees line the streets people still associate snow with the holiday.
For Panamanians, Christmas eve is the most important day of the holiday and families will gather and celebrate through the night. All good Panamanian fiestas will go into the morning hours of the next day, Christmas eve is no different.
