Christmas is a very important holiday in Costa Rica, and it is celebrated with great enthusiasm and joy. Families gather together for a traditional Christmas Eve dinner, which typically includes roast turkey, rice and beans, and other traditional dishes. After dinner, families gather around the Christmas tree to sing carols and open gifts. On Christmas Day, people attend church services and participate in parades and other festive activities. Children also receive gifts from the Three Wise Men, who travel around the country delivering presents to children.
