After that, people usually get together with family/or friends to have a huge dinner with usually includes turkey in tomato sauce, or tamales.

People light up fireworks such as morteros cohetillos, silvadores, volcancitos, o estrellitas all night long.

RE:

El Salvador Christmas Traditions & Customs.. Please?

My boyfriend is from El Salvador and hasn't celebrated Christmas since moving here 5 years ago. He lives alone and has no family here in the States. This is our first Christmas together and I want to do something very special for him.

Does anyone know of any customs or traditions in El Salvador...

A good friend is Salvadoran and it is basically Catholic, with the exception of possibly Los Posadas, which is the "parade" of the Baby Jesus to the manger scene...this usually takes place at the church. We live near a large Hispanic community and they perform this in town before Christmas. Otherwise, native foods (they don't eat a lot of turkey - my friend makes a stew with it) and go to Mass.
