@Metal-Brain saidThese aren't Haitians. They're Haitian-American. Most people who choose to become naturalized often adopt the traditions of their new country.
@sonhouse
Haitians mostly eat cats on December 24th in a national festivity called "Reveyon", a big Christmas party. This is exclusively known to a select group of Haitians found mostly in the countryside and remote villages. They eat cats because it's a tradition.

"Reveyon"? Really? You gullible redneck liar. The word is Réveillon. It is French.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9veillon
A réveillon is a long dinner held in the evening preceding Christmas Day and New Year's Eve. Its name descends from the word réveil (meaning "waking"😉, because participation involves staying awake until morning, as the meal finishes.
The practice is observed in Belgium, France, Brazil, Romania, in the Canadian provinces of Quebec, Manitoba, Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick, the city of New Orleans, and some other French-speaking places. In Portuguese-speaking countries, it is also a designation for the party preceding New Year's Day. In the United States, the réveillon tradition is still observed in New Orleans due to the city's strong French-Creole heritage, with a number of the city's restaurants offering special réveillon menus on Christmas Eve. It is also observed by many Franco-American families throughout New England.
The term is first documented in 18th-century France, and was used by the French as a name for the night-long party dinners held by the nobility. Eventually the word began to be used by other courts (amongst them the Portuguese courts) and after the French Revolution it was adopted as a definition of the New Year's Eve.
The food consumed at réveillons is generally exceptional or luxurious. For example, appetizers may include lobster, oysters, escargots or foie gras, etc. One traditional dish is turkey with chestnuts. Réveillons in Quebec will often include some variety of tourtière.
Dessert may consist of a Yule log, known as a bûche de Noël. In Provence, the tradition of the thirteen desserts is followed: 13 desserts are served, almost invariably including pompe à l'huile (a flavoured bread), dates, etc.
Quality wine is usually consumed at such dinners, often with champagne or similar sparkling wines as a conclusion.
Yes, I know, I can hear you belching out some nonsense about this being a HAITIAN "tradition". Bull.

Christmas Traditions in Haiti
Christmas Eve
Christmas in Haiti is such a lively time, the lights often stay on until the early hours of Christmas Day. Children receive special permission from their parents to go out in the middle of the night to take part in Christmas Eve festivities. Older children look after the young ones, watching performances in public areas, watching carol singers, and waving sparklers in the air. Some children also leave shoes with straw in them under a tree, where they believe Santa, or Tonton Nwel, will exchange the straw for gifts.
Many Haitian people are spiritual, and will attend a mass on Christmas Eve evening, or a midnight mass. Afterward, families gather for a party and a meal, also known as reveillon. Reveillon is a French term that roughly means ‘to wake up.’ This large meal can literally last the entire night.
Christmas Day
After an entire night of celebration, food, shows, mass, and more, most people spend Christmas day sleeping off the night. Christmas tends to be a relaxing time for families to gather, eat more food, and play with new gifts. Those who missed service late night services on Christmas Eve will attend mass on Christmas morning instead. Christmas in Haiti is all about spending time with family, friends, and loved ones. Once it gets dark, children often return to their sparklers, or pi detwal, to light up the Christmas evening skies.
Common Christmas Foods
You can always expect large meals during Christmas time. Most of this food will be found during reveillon, but most families prepare this food in abundance to enjoy during Christmas as well. Common foods include rice with congo peas or djon djon (mushrooms), fried accra, tassot cabrit (fried goat), chicken, pumpkin soup, fried banana, and griot. Griot is a pork dish marinated in orange juice for four hours and seasoned with various herbs. It is served with onions, carrots, peppers, and cabbage. For sweets, Haitians enjoy orange cakes, pineapple upside-down cakes, and will often be seen drinking kremas, an original Haitian creamy coconut drink with rum similar to eggnog.
Typical Christmas Traditions
Although Haiti is a small island nation, its diverse and colorful culture creates many interesting ways to celebrate during Christmas Time. Depending on where you are, you may wish someone Jwaye Nowel in Haitian Creole or Joyeux Noel in French. Most families begin looking for Christmas trees and decor in early December so that by Christmas day, entire streets are brightly decorated with Christmas lights and decorations. Families fill this time with sharing stories of Santa Claus and the birth of baby Jesus to their children. Christmas is a busy time of the year, where people line the streets of main city hubs like Port-Au-Prince to purchase gifts from the many vendors.
Fanal
One of the most well known Haitian holiday traditions includes creating fanals, a centuries-old tradition. A fanal is a lantern-like project both children and adults alike spend time crafting during Christmastime. The simplistic beauty of a fanal lies in the fact that you can make it from whatever materials you can find into whatever shape you like. Most people, however, create homelike structures, including schools and churches with pieces of paper boxes, and light them up using candles. You will likely see several fanals lined up on the porches of each home during this time. Fanals were once used to light the way for churchgoers heading to service on Christmas day.
Nothing here about cats, sunshine.
You Trumpers would cut your own neck before admitting that Trump LIES.
@Metal-Brain saidNo, because, like you, he is a liar.
Why can't Tucker Carlson be a real time fact checker during the debates?
Because he is a republican. Right? If Tucker started the real time fact checking only on Kamala you would think it was horrible. You would accuse him of tainting the debate. Putting his finger on the scale. Then you would repeat any delusional conspiracy theory that Tucker was doing the bidding of Russia.
@Metal-Brain said"We're talking about a private corporation, Twitter, that has terms of use, and as far as I'm concerned and I think most people would say, including members of Congress who he has threatened, that he has lost his privileges and it should be taken down.”"
@Zahlanzi
Kamala said "X" should lose it's free speech privileges if it does not censor information and be "taken down". Watch the video yourself here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DTIQAKHff8
Yet Reuters fact check falsely claimed she did not want to shut it down.
Does Reuters think that "taken down" is different than "shut down"?
Of course not. These fact ...[text shortened]... sinformation. That means Reuters fact check should be censored. Fact checkers are the biggest liars.
HE. TRUMP. NOT IT. TWITTER.
She said He should be taken down. Because he is lying, repeatedly, on a private platform.
I would say you should get some reading comprehension skills but then you wouldn't be metal brained.

Reveyon cats refer to a specific cultural tradition in Haiti, where cat meat is consumed during a festive celebration called Reveyon, typically held on December 24th. This practice is exclusive to a select group of Haitians, mostly found in rural areas and remote villages.
According to various sources, Reveyon is a big Christmas party where cat meat is served as a delicacy, often compared to the significance of turkey at Thanksgiving. However, it’s essential to note that not all Haitians participate in this tradition, and it’s not a widespread practice nationwide.
@Zahlanzi
It is no secret the democrats are being led by fascists like Hitlery Clinton. She said their intentions out loud.

let them talk enough and they will reveal who they really are. Democrats need to reject the fascist elements in the democrat party before the democrat party implodes. Democrats are turning into the censorship party. It is the anti first amendment party. This is pretty amazing since democrats used to be champions of free speech not that long ago.
Democrats need to welcome debate. Censorship is all about quelling debate. You don't really want that, do you?
You might want to start saying "Hillary does not speak for us". She is a fascist and we do not condone that.

yeah, like everybody knows it's not Kamala Harris running for president it's actually Obama running for a fourth term
"Democrats need to reject the fascist elements in the democrat party before the democrat party implodes."
I care very little for what a trumpette thinks about the level of fascism in the democrat party. Maybe when we make sure republicans can't steal elections, stop burning books, stop killing women over abortions, stop putting children to work in factories, stop lying in the media, stop intimidating voters and I got bored listing fascist things republicans are doing.
@Zahlanzi saidHitlery Clinton hates free speech. She and her buddies think free speech is a threat to them. You are on a debate forum. If you hate debates why are you on here? Censorship is meant to quell debates.

@Metal-Brain saidthere are no debates on this forum
Hitlery Clinton hates free speech. She and her buddies think free speech is a threat to them. You are on a debate forum. If you hate debates why are you on here? Censorship is meant to quell debates.
i am here to make fun of you conspirational troll who went full maga recently .
"Hitlery Clinton hates free speech"
you misspelled Hilary. thought i help you a little. Because the alternative is really you compared her to Hitler for one little debatable comment with no consequence. And that would mean you're the dumbest bastard on the planet
"Censorship is meant to quell debates."
The debate was had. I don't give a fuk you imbeciles keep wanting to rediscuss the shame crap just because you were too stupid to understand the facts the 20, 100 times they were presented prior.
For example, the 2020 election was not stolen, it was legit. The debate was had. If you still claim now it's stolen, i don't care to have another debate, i will just dismiss you to the moron bin. If you still claim that and you have a large following of sheep and you tend to encourage those sheep to commit violence, i see no harm in asking you to leave certain platforms.
At some point it stops being free speech to express your stupidity and becomes a matter of public safety
So, in short, i don't give a fuk what Hillary Clinton says, i don't care enough about her, i don't care enough about the craphole that X has become and i don't care enough if Trump is banned or not on X, he still has a zillion other platforms from which to bleat his vileness.
If you compare Hilary to Hitler however i feel a need to make fun of how stupid you are. It's my guilty pleasure. Won't accomplish anything you will still be a stupid conspirationist fukhead. It is an exercise in futility.
@Metal-Brain saidDid
Do a check list. That is if you know what fascism is.
Not a fascist.
You're a moron.
@Zahlanzi saidYou don't know what a fascist is. You think it is the killing of Jews.
Did
Not a fascist.
You're a moron.
Can you explain what fascism is? Of course not. You have no idea what fascism is. Ask a political scientist. It has nothing to do with killing Jews.
Hitler hated the Jews because powerful bankers happened to be Jewish and he felt they betrayed Germany. Hitler was a fascist who happened to hate Jews. He was not a fascist because he hated Jews. His hatred of the Rothschild family made him take it out on the whole Jewish race. Still, Stalin made Hitler seem mild. How many people did Stalin kill? How many people did Mao kill?

I am so happy you have enough voices in your head that you immediately answer your own inane questions. Would save me time if i wanted to explain things to you, which i dont

Quite a lot of rambling about Hitler and stalin and nothing about Clinton which you brought up in the first place.
