One of my favorite American girl dolls highlights a Spanish Christmas tradition called Los Posadas. Every year as a kid, I would reread the story of Josefina as celebrated it with her family. This year, we did a Spanish Christmas song that made me recall the story I read as a kid. I am thankful that dancing and reading could bring together memories with the dance I did to "Adorar Al Nino".
En la noche las pastores
A sus ovejitas velan
Angeles del cielo alaban
Angelses del cielo alaban
Pastroicitos, id, patoricitos ya
A sus ovejitas velan
Angeles del cielo alaban
Angelses del cielo alaban
Pastroicitos, id, patoricitos ya
Chorus:
Adorar al Nino
Adorar al Nino
Que en Belen esta
Que en Belen esta
Adorar al Nino
Adorar al Nino
Que en Belen esta
Que en Belen esta
In the evening there were shepherds
Resting while their flocks were grazing
Angels from the heavens told them
Heaven’s King is near you sleeping
Shepherds go to Him
Go and praise your King
Resting while their flocks were grazing
Angels from the heavens told them
Heaven’s King is near you sleeping
Shepherds go to Him
Go and praise your King
Go and worship Jesus
Go and worship Jesus
Born in Bethlehem
Born in Bethlehem
Go and worship Jesus
Born in Bethlehem
Born in Bethlehem
Go and worship Jesus
Go and worship Jesus
Born in Bethlehem
Born in Bethlehem
Go and worship Jesus
Born in Bethlehem
Born in Bethlehem
Con alegre reverncia
En la bella Noche buean
Los cristiano hoy alaban
Los cristianos todos cantan
Pueblos, oh venid, pueblos, oh llegad
En la bella Noche buean
Los cristiano hoy alaban
Los cristianos todos cantan
Pueblos, oh venid, pueblos, oh llegad
Adorar al Nino
Adorar al Nino
Que en Belen esta
Que en Belen esta
Adorar al Nino
Que en Belen esta
Que en Belen esta
There is a book about a little girl at Christmas who gets a star piñata (sp?)that they fill with goodies. It is about how they celebrate Christmas in her village...is this the book you are talking about. I loved that book!!
