Food is important during the celebrations. A big tradition is roasting a whole pig over a fire. The pig has to cook for hours. Everyone who attends brings a dish, and they end up with a huge feast.
There is a holiday celebrated shortly after Christmas in many Spanish speaking places, including Puerto Rico. December 28th is Dia de los Innocentes (or Dia de los Santos Innocentes). It has the look of Mardi Gras and the practical jokes of April Fools Day.
