In Puerto Rico there are also the “fiestas solemnes” (religious festivals):
- Misas de Aguinaldos
- Nochebuena 12/24
- Misa de Gallo 12/24
- Día de Navidad 12/25
- Despedida de Año 12/31
- Año Nuevo 1/1
- Día de Reyes 1/6
- Las Octavas y Octavitas (8 days following 1/6)
For a more mellow song, and mood we often listen to this beautiful song “Niño Jesús” by Tony Croatto. This one is a classic! 🙂
I was looking for books about Puerto Rican cultural traditions specifically about parrandas. I came across Mimi’s Parranda/La Parranda de Mimi (Spanish Edition). Unfortunately, they didn’t have it in our local library so I ordered it, and I’m hoping to receive it soon. I will update this blog post as soon as I review the book.
A special thank you to my sister and cuñado (brother-in-law) for the pictures and for not missing one parranda in Puerto Rico! ¡Wepa!!!

Wow, this looks like so much fun! I just wrote about caroling here in the US, so I was happy to read about what caroling is like in Puerto Rico! Looks like a really fun, joyous time! I love love love the photo of your abuelita – so special! 🙂
