Happy Advent Season, My Lovelies! This year on my Advent Calendar I want to share Christmas traditions from around the world along with a daily scripture reading.
In Bolivia workers get double or three times the normal salary in December! This is called 'El Aguinaldo' and is a government law and has to be paid for by the employers. Many workplaces also give a 'Canastón de fin de Año' or 'End of the year basket' to their employees. It's a large basket or container full of things like grocery items, a bottle of cidra (non alcoholic sparkling cider) and a panetón (sweet fruit bread).

ReplyDeleteHere in Ecuador is the same, people get three salaries and are called "extra December Holidays pay checks."
Merry Christmas and many blessings.

ReplyDeleteIt is always fun and interesting to learn about traditions from other countries. Thanks to your advent calendar I know about extra pay in December in Boliva.
