Christmas and New Years: Bright, tropical flowers highlight decorations for the Christmas season in Costa Rica. Special trips are made to gather the wild orchids that bloom in the tropical jungle areas. The supper will include chicken and pork tamales that have been wrapped for cooking in plantain leaves, and accompanied by egg nog and rum punch. The Christmas season continues through the rest of December and into January with fiestas, parades, rodeos, choral and dance festivals, street fairs, and bull runs.
