Most people in Colombia spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with their families, celebrating with customary meals like turkey and pudding. On Christmas Eve, children write letters to Baby Jesus describing the gifts they want and leave them in the manger, believing he will bring their presents overnight. Christmas Day is known as the Day of Candles, when families gather and light candles on their doors. Popular Colombian Christmas dishes are largely sweets and desserts, including buñuelos, natilla, manjar blanco, and sweet breads filled with fruits.
