On 24th December, it’s Christmas Eve, the families have a big dinner. This night we put under the Christmas tree the presents.

In Spain, traditional food is shellfish, meat and “turrón” (kind of nougat traditionally eaten at Christmas). The families have dinner together. On Christmas day, the families are together; they stay at home singing Christmas songs, dancing and laughing. I think everybody is happy this day.

We, on Christmas Eve, eat a lot at around ten o’clock. It’s a big dinner! Shellfish, like lobster ( not many people),crabs, king prawns, oyster and for the main course, roast lamb, beef or pork.
Then, we all drink a toast with champagne and we open the presents, which are under the Christmas tree, at twelve o’clock.

In Spain, we have got traditions like eating twelve grapes at twelve o’clock on the last night of the year. We also sing Christmas song. All the family gets together. We have a merry Christmas!!

We have the Three Wise King’s day too on the 6th of January. They leave presents for good kids and coal for “bad” kids.

The representations of the birth of Jesus can be seen in the squares of cities and small towns and also at the entrance of the houses and in the windows of shops. Spanish cribs are very well decorated to appear as real as possible. In many cities, there are even contests for the best cribs. In many small towns, the night of Christmas Eve, December 24, there is a “live” crib with actors, actresses, and animals associated with the birth of Jesus Christ, a cow, a donkey and some sheep.

Here, in Spain we have the 3 Wise Kings. They're 3 kings who follow the Pole Star to give their presents to the child Jesus in Bethlehem, they're called Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar. We also have Santa Claus like you, but we call him 'Papa Noel'. We usually get clothes and money for presents. We also eat a cake called 'roscon', which has a round shape with a hole in the middle and we put little figures in it. In the special dinners we usually eat shellfish .
