Christmas celebrations are like many other countries, with church services, gift-giving, feasts and fireworks. Christmas is in the middle of Argentina’s summer, so picnics are not uncommon on Christmas Day. Whatever festivities people choose to partake in, it is always with the family, as Christmas in Argentina is the time for families and loved ones.
