Answer 1

Best time to visit Cuba is April and May , but December is not bad , the temperature is between 26 - 29°C , warm but not to warm excellent weather only at night the temperature can drop to 20-22 °C .
Christmas and Newyear are important hollidays for Cubans , most of them will have a "fiesta" (party) at home with the family. A special happening in Havana is the big show at the Malecon (the Sea Boulvard) with Cuban Bands playing and people dancing and singing on the streets.

Answer 2

This is about the coldest time of the year - but it could still be in the 20s.

Christmas is not a big festival for most Cubans - it only became a public holiday again 10 years ago.

New Year is the main event - as it also marks the "triumph of the revolution". This year, the 31st, 1st and 2nd are all public holidays.

i'm no longer a Cuban. In 2003 i became with Christmas in Cuba for a metamorphosis. they do no longer celebrated Christmas, they do no longer beautify and don't has a Christmas tree the two. yet we (the Cuban kinfolk) went to Church. It became in Santiago de Cuba. there became the Christmas solid with Jesus, Maria and Jose interior the Church. With the kinfolk we consume beef meat and cake. It became severe-high quality at the same time with out all that commercial issues around. We sitting at the same time and talks plenty with one yet another. i enjoyed with the kinfolk besides. OO, their 7 years old daughter performed the piano for us. It became deligthed.
