In Peru, Christmas isn't just celebrated on December 25. The festivities start during the first week of December with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and continue until the first week of January, when the arrival of the Three Wise Men is commemorated. Peruvians celebrate Christmas Day in their homes with a traditional meal, as well as in a midnight mass, street festivities, fireworks and a bullfight. Crafts markets are filled with nativity scenes carved into stone and wood figurines shaped by Quechua Indians. Artisans also decorate gourds and ceramics with Yuletide scenes and images. Contact the tourist office for information on celebrations and events.
