We eat empanadas which are meat or cheese inside a dough pocket which is baked or fried, you gather around as a group and eat alfajores(dough cookies with dulce de leche/manjar) or mote con huesillo, a chilean delicacy, you play games like palo encebado, where you climb a wooden pole greased with pig fat, or you put your two feet in a sack and race the other who is doing the same, by jumping.
