My neighbors are blasting their music as loud as possible and shooting fireworks and yelling at the top of their lungs. Their kids are running around making as much noise as possible.

This is apparently a pretty traditional celebration for them where baby Jesus at midnight brings them their gifts and they open it up then according to the internet.

Meanwhile, in USA Christmas is supposed to be peaceful. Parents of this tradition tell their kids to go to bed early and the night should be still.

Kinda makes it hard for people of these cultures to live besides each other don't you think?

Yeah I have a Cuban friend and their family does everything Christmas Eve.

They refer to it as Nochebuena or something like that.

At least since the night before christmas was a book.

Also, the point is to wake up early to open the presents in the morning. Not easy to do if your neighbors are blasting music and fireworks past midnight.

Go to bed early yourself! Practice what you preach. It can be tough to get your kids to sleep if youre staying up late yourself. (If youre rocking out to holiday tunes and watching Love Actually, your kids may think that theyre missing out on fun and crawl out of bed.) So get the whole family on the same page by having a firm lights out rule for the house.


good fucking luck if your neighbors don't share in your tradition

curious, is that a joke post or do you really believe not liking bass shaking your walls or music played at 1am when you are trying to sleep makes you racist?
