Christmas and New Year
NavidadNFP - Christmas
|
Just to fit the season... I'm sure there will be a few regional variation additions, it will be nice to learn them. :)

My dictionary: piñata: container hung up during festivites and hit with a stick to release candy
It looks like there is no English word Año viejo: Old Year (:rolleyes:) nacimientoNM/Belén: Nativity jingle bell (?) : just 'bell' magi (do they have proper names in English?) : NO |

Thanks, Perikles! I have attached a picture with a "cascabel" and a "campana". Are they still the same?

This is fine... I assume the use of some pictures will be needed to clarify some meanings anyway. :)

I would call them "jingle bells" regardless of how they are used and regardless of the time of year. :) Cascabeles!

American English:
serie (de luces) = Christmas lights / string lights / string of lights trineo = sled / sleigh envoltura de regalo = gift wrap / wrapping paper cascabeles = jingle bells / sleigh bells los Reyes Magos = the Wise Men / the (three) Wise Men (of/from the East) / the (Three) Kings (from the Orient) / the Magi : their number is uncertain, but set at three because three gifts were mentioned by Matthew : there are various names given to them, but Caspar (Gaspar, Jaspar), Melchior, and Balthasar are the most popular; these have been used since the 8th century (derived from an Alexandrian text dated two centuries earlier) Please provide a picture of escarcha. Is it the same as guirnalda? Tinsel can mean a garland (a chain made out of bright, shiny plastic strands) or the thin shiny plastic strands that hang over the branches of a Christmas tree to make it look like it has icicles hanging from the branches (this kind of tinsel is also called icicles). Could cinta brillante be used for tinsel / guirnalda? (corona has an inadvertent / behind it) |
