   What an interesting article, I just loved reading through the different ways that countries celebrate the holidays. Isn't it so interesting how much culture plays such a huge role in each of our lives, and how diverse so many cultures are. I lived in Argentina for quite some time, but never had the spiced rum. I think it's time to try it!!
