Argentinia: Boots at the front door The celebration in Argentinia begins with all people going to church together. Before that the houses are decorated with red and white garlands, Christmas trees are decorated with colorful lights and ornaments and the boots of Santa Claus are fixed at the front door. After the service the families come together for a festive dinner. A vast variety of customary delicacies is served: pork, turkey, fried tomatoes. At midnight someone proposes a solemn toast. Everybody raises one's glass which is filled with a punch made of fruit, juice and cider.
