The PLD, headed by its president, Leonel Fernandez, will begin the distribution of Christmas boxes this Sunday, continuing a tradition that stretches back decades. El Nuevo Diario and other papers said that the government would spend RD$1.3 billion on the boxes, toys and some appliances for Christmas distribution. The announcement came from the head of the Presidential Social Plan, Emigdio Sosa, who said that the President would distribute over 1,170,000 boxes and reach over 5,000,000 Dominicans. The boxes contain traditional holiday fare: rice, beans, pastas, pigeon peas, eggnog, wine, rum, chicken and other items.
