Not only Dominicans but all Latinos as well. We party on December 24th and on December 25th, we rest.
Pamela Palma or el recalentado 😩🤣
Every single year we have a party on the 24th and this year is legit the first time my family didint come to the Christmas party, in the 13 years I’ve lived this is the first party I didint go to, I shook
yeah but this is about dominicans
In Puerto Rico we party on 24th, celebrate christmas with a party on 25th, and on new years eve on 31st till like 4 - 5 am of next day. All parties 🤣🤣
We Dominicans celebrate until the following year, and we still celebrate in January for los Reyes magos too so yeah
I think most latinos celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve
roninglx not true..
Latinos, pinoys, white España and Spanish Europeans, Canary Islands, people from South Florida, some people in SoCal and close to the border, some North African countries, the Caribbean countries and island nations....some Polynesian cultures as well.
Nochebuena has spread and evolved. I brought the traditions to my white Irish/Greek in-laws in Utah and ever since we did it the first year I lived here that's the only way we do it.
Not me we cuban and we always open in the a.m becuz Santa comes at night when u sleeping people lmao.thatd what they told us as kids
@@misshglady4lyfe are you half Cuban?? Porque mi familia en Matanzas no lo celebran asi.
Dominicans literally invented the word “Lit.” Encendío = Lit, you’re welcome
Roger M yeah I believe it was Oro Solido.
I am dominican and have always lived on DR, last week a colombian and an american came to party with us and they were surprised because apparently "everybody dance and goes too crazy" XD
I'm algerian and i don't celebrate Christmas nor do i speak spanish. Am i still going to watch this?
*Absolutely*
I am moroccan and I celebrate the christmas
+ I'm Dominican and one of my all time favorite artist is Cheb Khaled. And I love Rai music. Ha ha!
“You tired?... go to that room over there where all the coats are.” So true! Brings back childhood memories in NY.
If you’re celebrating Christmas on the 25th in the morning you’re definitely not Hispanic. Nochebuena is when we celebrate
Stre Ssed preach!!! el 24 es en donde esta la fiesta
I am Hispanic and was adopted-- I celebrated Xmas on the 25th like most Americans. My birth mothers's family is Mexican and they celebrated the 25th not 24th hahahahah
@H Flores i am mixed 🙄
@@hiphipjorge5755 I'm aware of that and yes I am and identify as Latino since I'm Mexican-american.
Stre Ssed We Dominicans celebrate Christmas noche buena y el 25
😊...We do the same thing in Puerto Rico. Every party, family gatherings, a lot of eating, presents exchange happens on the 24th. On the 25th, kids will open their gifts under the tree. But the 25th is pretty boring, 'cause it is spent resting and eating all the leftovers from the 24th. 😁🤷♀️
¡FELIZ NAVIDAD! 🎄🎅🎁🎆🇵🇷
My family has a party on 24th, another on 25th, and another on 31st till 2 - 3 am of the next day 😂😂
Nelson Abdiel Nieves ajajajajaajajajajaajajaj
Except we don't listen to Anthony Santos
@@White_Tiger2169 Anthony Santos? 🤔Who is that❓❗❓❗
Yep 👍🏽
We don't even do Christmas gifts, los reyes magos are the ones that bring gifts and it sucks cuz they only give presents to children so you get limited time enjoying
Well it depends what part of Mexico you from. If your taking about the holidays on Mexico in the North part of Mexico we celebrate Christmas most call it niño Dios and not Santa Claus but some States in the middle of Mexico celebrate Christmas and say Santa Claus is coming. Now in southern mexico you guy's don't celebrate Christmas 24 or 25 because you guy's celebrate Los Reyes Magos until January's 6th were you put a shoe out so you can get a gift. Every different State in Mexico also has there different holiday traditions and different foods they make during this holidays!!
@@mpalafoxj It's interesting to know the different ways the same country celebrates the holidays! However, I'm dominican lol. We celebrate los reyes magos but there are definitely many families that are being influenced by US culture(because of the significant amount of dominican immigrants in the states who spend the holidays there or send family gifts) and so they do Christmas. That's still a minority of the country though.
lo chulo que here in RD reyes magos come the day before school starts
@@allthatshines1008 I have both lol
I’m Puerto Rican and Colombian and we celebrate on the 24th and I open my gifts at midnight also
Mama made Pernil and we opened up our presents last night. Viva la Bolivia!
Mexican Christmas = same 😄 (just substitute tamales for pernil).
Pozole
And posole
Pozole or menudo
Same with Salvadorans and also add Pan con Pollo
@@umhi5743 omg I want some pan con pollo it's so good
I come from a Cuban Family so for Noche Buena my uncle does un puerco entero en una caja china (a Chinese box) where it roasts for the whole day and my mom makes yuca and congri (rice and black beans). We have Lechón for every holiday and on the 25th, we chill and have leftovers.
Klk im dominican and proud i really love this chanel because its based on latinos thank you so much😍😍😍😍
My mom must have secretly been Dominican, because she HATED the idea of giving Santa Claus credit for giving gifts when it was her.
That’s the most Dominican thing in the world is
Celebrating Christmas the 24th
i distinctly remember a christmas where i was KNOCKED on a pile of coats in my parents bedroom while the loudest puerto rican’s you’ve ever met were partying in the living room next door. still woke up at midnight to open gifts, the most important part !!
Filipinos celebrate on the 24 as well and we do noche buena! But I was surprised when my Dominican boyfriend didn’t do noche buena but opens gifts at midnight too 😂🇵🇭🇩🇴
Santa Clo! I don't know who says it better. Gadiel or Lejaun James but I love it!
me and my family yesterday and we did all those this, somos mexicanos! 🇲🇽
The part about sleeping in the room with the coats hit home
“Dominicans are the most lit people you’ll ever meet”
Me in my head: YESS🇩🇴🇩🇴
Saludos! Gracias por el video. Yo hice un documental alla en el campo de La Luisa Prieta de Monte Plata se llama Juana y Cande: Un Retrato de Una Familia Dominicana
In DR we be lit, that’s for some Dominicans living in us. I live in Bronx. But when I used to live in Dr we used to party until January 7th. We used to stay awake all night and then sleep, and party all over again with bachatas, merengue, dembow and all that. I remember being 12 and drinking presidente and vino con alcohol like I miss those days here in the Us it’s not like that.
This isn’t just Dominicans, I am pretty sure it’s most Latinos.
yo that's crazy. i'm filipino and we also celebrate it on the 24th, nothing happening on the 25th, party is always at night, and we open presents at midnight!
That's how us Mexican do it too, and my wife is Puerto Rican and they do the same thing .
He is speaking for Dominicans in USA, it is true that Noche Buena is more important than the 25th but we do open gifts in the morning in the D.R.
Yo vivo en rd y yo nunca he hecho eso 😂
Garyela Isabel Ulloa 😹😹 exacto
no we dont
🤔 eso será ahora que mucha gente se a americanizado pero en mi casa los regalos solo los traen los reyes. Nunca hemos hecho eso de abrir regalos en Navidad
Transcultura... some do some dont
Most stick to our roots and wait Día de reyes.
Simple.
In brazil is the same im happy to see this video that represent so well what we do
@Jose Moran and whats wrong with that ? I cannot be black and brazilian ?
@@giovannaluiza744 Peço desculpas de parte da gente, a falta de consciência percebe-se ainda. Saudações de Natal para os brasileiros de um irmão hispânico.
Igualzinho o Brasil! kkkk
Us Puerto Rican’s do the same thing Christmas is on the 24th then we eat leftovers the next day and chill we also throw random parties out of nowhere lol
*I need me some Dominican friends! Y'all know how to party!!*
(: yep we do. Parties all day all night,anywhere.
We really do
Yep we really do LOL
Bro also Puerto Rican and Cubans celebrate the same. Lol but for thanksgiving yea.. it’s different here in the states than the islands. Turkeys are not celebrated in the island is pork shoulder or the whole pork..
Gracias! My nephew married a girl from the DR this year and I am hoping to incorporate some of her traditions into our holiday celebrations.
I'm 🇵🇷 and 🇩🇴... they both celebrate it the same
J. M. 🇩🇴 🇵🇷
This year our celebration started on Christmas Eve. We partied, ate, and played games. Today we are having a game day (pajama contest, pokeno, twister, spades, family tree quiz) It's going to be lit indeed.
My husband is Blasian & he used to think the "game" thing was fun 💤😴 till we shut that down with Latin music & partying. Latinos don't do that. Pajamas & games are def an American thing.
Same thing here in the Philippines... 24th is full day of cooking, last minute gift shopping & wrapping, going to church, and playing bingo all night just before midnight...we cant even have a proper noche buena cuz we already ate the food at 9pm 😆 we sleep at like 3 am, but the drinking lasts all night long 🤭😂 25th is like nothing happened
Shyen la verdad pero en la manana del veinti cinco, los ninos pequeños van a pieden de sus madrinos y padrinos por algun dinero y regalitos 😂
Love from Manila 😂
This wasn’t meant for
You
Dale!! Que así mismo es!!
Yup! Yup! And yup!
Thats was my hubby’s side of the family, married to a dominicano , anddd ayyeee they talk soo much shit! 😂
And this morning the 25th no one gets out of bed 😂
Gadiel, Papo, casate conmigo, Bello. I'll make sure every holiday, and every day is a lit fiesta.
I always remember opening my cousins gift by mistake, because we have the same name, and sometimes I'd just be so confused when opening a gift and seeing I got some Dora toy 😂😂
El papasito de Gadiel! I love how Latino you are and proud of it too. Este Gadiel quiero para año nuevo 😍😘
Ya tu sabe 😂🇩🇴🌎❤️
Exactly how it is!!! 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
I love how this video is about Dominicans peroooo my Mexican family checked all these boxes this year 🤣😂🤣
New York Rican grew up opening presents at midnight while my Dominican ex husband didn’t.
Yessss!! We do the exact same thing! 😂 But we're from LA so we play old school R&B and Ranchero music! ☺️
Merry Christmas to all of you at Pero Like!
You guys literally have helped me discover my Hispanic side, I don’t quite know Spanish yet but u make me want to learn so badly😆!!
Oh what’s your ethnic background?
I'm Puerto Rican and we do something similar. We do celebrate the night of Christmas Eve but at my Gramma's house every year and open presents at midnight but the food is AMAZING! We have Lechón, Coquito, Pasteles, chicken gizzards with plantanos and olives (forgot what it's called), arros con guandules.... it's a FEAST there! And there is a LOT of family and there's a LOOOOT of gifts because of how big my family is. We sing karaoke, dance, talk and get consume alcohol. I say "consume" because my mom made bourbon balls and plus we have beer and coquito.
For some odd reason, it's a tradition for my tio Omar to buy everyone clothes from Boscovs.... also we are LOOOOOUD during Christmas and most of us have a buzz. My mom pranked me with buying 6 bottles of ketchup for a gift in which I cracked up laughing BUT I got back at her by making her open HER gag gift which was a pimple popping game to get back at her for all the times she popped me and my brothers' faces all the time.
I love celebrating Christmas the Puerto Rican way and I wouldn't celebrate it any other way. 😄❤🎄
The chicken gizzards are called mollejas or mollejitas :) They're my fave
domincan here and your from pa arnt you i figured it out when you mentioned boscovs love that place but they need to get those damn 20 boots back in stock lol
😂👏🎆🎉💖🇩🇴💣💥🤣🌃🕛🎁Totally Awesome Video👊...NOW I know the DR/Caribbean Special Style & Joy by watching you from here in the 🇺🇸 ...🤝🙏Thanks for making it so Real!🎄🏝
love this and his relatable personality - for any educators trying to show this, the cursing parts are as follows and can be skipped or muted: 2:12-2:36, and then mute for 2 seconds at 2:48.
christmas was lit last night 🔥
we went to my tia’s house
we opened gifts at midnight
my mom made the pernil this year...
shit was good, (me di una hartura) 😂😋
98% of what gadiel said was facts for me 😂
Him: "Dominicans don't care about Turkey"
Me: *sad Turkish noises*
I know he talks about the animal turkey.
😂😂😂
Aww we like Turkish people ☺ lol we dominicans are loving people
So accurate 🎄🇩🇴
The coat roooommmm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Puerto Ricans do this too! 😂 🇵🇷i was raised this way!
most of these regard to all latinos not just dominicans
Perhaps. However, he can only speak for Dominicans unless he's celebrated Christmas at another Latino's house who wasn't Dominican. That being said, I'm Puerto Rican and Dominicans do it much the same with maybe a small, subtle twist.
Shocking!
Hes aware. Hes talking about his experience as dominican with dominican family and gatherings....
“Go to the room where the coats are” 😂😂 sooo relatable lol
Mexicanos too! Playing Lotería! My favorite part, cause we play for Money. Lol.
Facts!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Colombians are no different!🥂 Gonna go rest now with Santa Clo!!🤣
There’s nothing like a Dominican Christmas 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
I’m Dominican and we always open gifts the morning of the 25th lol we open some on the 24th
It’s the same with Cubans we get lit on the 24th y el 25th es día de descansar
Exactly🤣🤣🤣👍
I loved my Dominican upbringing. Santa has to give too many gifts, there is no way he could afford apple products.
Mexicans are pretty much Dominicans then haha we do all the same things
Josselen Arias nope different cultures!
I’m from Ecuador but I do all of these except for eating the pork shoulder
That’s almost everything we did this year 😂 even going to la Tia’s house so we don’t have a mess here 🤣🤣
Me encantó jajaaajajajaja
Real & accurate.
Los dominicanos somos una vaina bien♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Next Video should be how Puerto Ricans Celebrate the Longest Christmas Festivities! 🇵🇷🇵🇷
FACT!!! PUERTO RICAN keep it going all the way into the new year and don't forget the 3 Kings .
Lovely 1 Yes! and Octavitas and All!
The festivities don't end until after Las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastian!
Lucimar Tenemos las mejores navidades!
I’m pureto rican and Dominican! I’m still learning my culture!
Wait a minute all latinos do that
This channel is informative and fun
Same here in the Philippines! All the food preparations are done on the 24th, then at exactly 12 midnight the party begins.
Literally my Rican self, plus pasteles!!!
Feliz Navidad 🎄🎊 love this!!
Italians open gifts at midnight too!
Feliz navidad 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
In my first Christmas writing a letter to Santa (I had just learn how to write), my drunk Dad told me Santa wasn’t real, and that he bought all my gifts.
I was six
Facts! 🇩🇴🇩🇴
LMAO!!! You also described 99.9% of every Puerto Rican family too.
Feliz Navidad!!🎄👼🎅🎁
Go to the coat room! Lmaooo
Everything her said is so tru 😂😂
Yeah I’m half and half, so 24th we go to the uncles house eat some pozole, and party and open gifts at midnight, and then Christmas morning we have the presents from “Santa” to open 🤷🏻♀️ perks of being both ig
omg!!!! your cousins havin' Neff guns and you get clothes. SO SO SO true, like you ain't even a kid
Sleeping on the bed on top of all the coats is a staple 🤣🤣🤣
Im Ecuadorian YOO PERNIL THE BEST 😍😍
Noche Buena!!!!!!!!!! Mi amigo hahaha 😂
I'm Venezuelan and yeah our big party is on the 24th and at midnight the kids would run to the tree to open the presents. It's perfect because they're distracted by the party while one adult goes and puts all the presents under the tree, then runs out and says OMG SANTA WAS HERE. ITS MIDNIGHT. LOL Instant chaos.
Christmas was yesterday for us too but your traditions are lit
Yo when the adults send all the kids to that room with all the coats in it smh
Feels bad man 😢
Teach me on about 🇩🇴 Christmas next time in the future I want 🇩🇴 come to my Christmas celebrations
I posted this as a reply but here's some fun nochebuena trivia:
Latinos, pinoys, white España and Spanish Europeans, Canary Islands, people from South Florida, some people in SoCal and close to the border, some North African countries, the Caribbean countries and island nations....some Polynesian cultures as well. Not just what we know as Latin America.
Nochebuena has really blossomed and become a part of so many cultures and lifestyles.
Every culture that celebrates nochebuena puts their own twist to it and there's always a central dish or delicacy that is the centerpiece of the nochebuena meal. Varies from place to place. It's all about partying, opening presents at midnight, and then everyone just sleeps and chills on Christmas day while eating leftovers.
Go to the room where all the coats are and go to sleep aaaahahhaha LOST IT 😂😂😂
Yo pienso todo los latinos hacen la misma cosa no solo los dominicanos 😂😂
True. Since hes dominican,he talked abt his experience.
En Paraguay también celebramos el 24 a la noche. Hoy que es el 25 estoy viendo películas y haciendo nada!! Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!
My family also celebrates on the 24th and open gifts at midnight so technically Christmas. Family thing to give everyone a chance to see their other families on the 25th.
My mexicana familia from Los Ángeles opens gifts at midnight too it’s about the 24th son. But wait. Dominicanos celebrate 🎉 thanksgiving.
Lacomba out
In my family the children in christmas go to bed at 3/4 am lol. But im brazil in 25th we have a big dinner too, usually in grandmas house, then rest in the couch until 31st and party again!
In Germany we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve (24th) as well. Usually have a nice family dinner and then open presents. The 25th is just for relaxing and eating left-overs, lol
Cada Hispano en el mundo! 😂🇲🇽
Hahahaha pa que sepa Merry Christmas 🎄
The pernil omg yessssss 🤤🤤🤤
