Sidra is the alcoholic drink of the Christmas in Argentina

There is the tradition of Nativity scene and Christmas tree, gift giving, banquets . It is a time of family and friends so much like our own. The Nativity scene is set up in the house, depicting the birth scene of Jesus. The tree is decorated with candles lights and ornaments. All the presents are placed under the tree and await the morning of Christmas. On the 24th much like other traditional Hispanic families, everyone waits until late at night to eat and the presents are opened at midnight. The devout Argentineans attend church services, which is a long standing and shared family tradition. On Christmas Eve, family and friends gather to share a dinner feast that usually includes great celebrating.

Christmas in Argentina is warm and summery. Many families plan picnics or Bar B Ques to take advantage of the fair weather. Sidra finds a familiar place at the celebration table at Christmas time in the Argentinian family. Another variation is that not just traditional Pine tree is used in the home of the Argentina Family. Any artificial or live tree may be decorated in celebration of the holiday. Champagne and fireworks are also used to celebrate this holiday that due cooler weather we would not be able to enjoy.

Like all the Hispanic Cultures by Tradition the Christmas is not just a holiday but a season of celebration that centers firstly on the faith of Jesus. As with most Hispanic families, the religion traditionally is Catholic. In the Catholic religion the Christmas season begins with Advent and ends with the Baptism of Jesus. It is a beautiful time to reflect and grow in tradition and culture, family and faith.

Gay spa in Buenos Aires

My trip to Buenos Aires… When I arrived after my long overnight flight I was in desperate need of some pampering and so I went straight to a spa. What a shock I had to find out that an hour long massage would cost only $15, a manicure and pedicure $12 total. You can even get your hair washed, dried and styled and pay less than $10 for it. Now, please don’t expect a glass of wine and aromatherapy at this price, you are truly getting just the service. But I did it all, and did everything I could the entire time I was there, and I recommend you do the same. The best thing to do is look for signs for these services as you walk around town, walk in and make an appointment, and most of the time they will take care of you on the spot. Also you will find great gay spa in Buenos Aires just for more fun

Then I realized that this service bonanza extended to other types of services as well. Because one of my trips to Buenos Aires was a month long stay in an apartment, I needed housecleaners and laundering services as well. Well maybe I didn’t need them, but after I heard the prices I just couldn’t deny myself. I was shocked to find that the launderers would come to my house to pick up my items, wash, dry and fold them in the same day and then hand deliver them back to me at the cost of about $3 a load. And the cleaners came once a week and cleaned the apartment top to bottom for $5. I actually felt guilty paying so little and quite often bumped up the price, but of course this was unnecessary. They were happy to have the work. That’s why I say, while you are in Buenos Aires, live like a king. Have a massage and get your hair done every day, and get a manicure/pedicure at least once a week. And don’t be afraid to send out laundry, or have cleaners come to your apartment everyday if you want. It’s well worth it and it helps the local economy too.

In order to get around to all of your appointments, shops and restaurants you will need to take taxis in Buenos Aires. There is a great metro system (el subte) but for the small price difference you can’t beat the convenience of a taxi. Taxis are always easy to find, and cheap, but you will rarely find a driver that speaks much English. Brush up on at least a few words of Spanish and you may find it easier to get your point across.

Get a trip to Buenos Aires now! take this cheap services and relax as much as you can.
