Puerto Rican Christmas Traditions in the USA | ESL Teacher Vlog

Puerto Rican Christmas Traditions in the USA: In this Christmas teacher vlog, I wanted to share with you how Latinos celebrate Christmas, specfically Puerto Rican Christmas traditions in the USA thorugh the eyes of an esl teacher. How Latinos celebrate Christmas varies widely from country to country. In this video, I will share with you one of Puerto Rican's popular traditions during Christmas: a Puerto Rican Parranda. A parranda is when a group of friends and family members gather together with musical instruments and stand outside someone's house and serenade them until they open the door. Once the host greets them, s/he invites them into their home and serves them food. They will sing a couple of songs and then take the host with them to another house to begin the same process. This will happen several times throughout the night as the group gets larger. There are many styles of Puerto Rican music. Some of them are jíbaro style music as well as bomba & plena. Bomba and plena is used to accompany a series of jokes that are told (must rhyme) and then once the person has shared the joke, a chorus is sung. My father knows a lot of "bomba" jokes and I always think of him whenever we are in gatherings where bomba jokes are shared.
