Last Christmas

Last Christmas I went to my uncle's house to have lunch. We ate ''Galets soup'', it's a typical Christmas meal here. I didn't get a lot of presents, but I like what I got. 
The ''Polvorones'' and ''Mantecados''  are a type of heavy, soft and very crumbly Spanish shortbread made of floursugarmilk, and nuts. Here there's a photo:
Here, in the New year's eve, we eat twelve greapes in the twelve last seconds of the year to commemorate the New year. It's tradicional and it brings good luck.
We went to the Three Wise Men's ride, where they give a lot of sweets to us. Also, the children give a Christmas letter to the ''Patge Xiu Xiu'', where they write what they want to the Three Wise Men's day. In this day we eat the ''Roscón de Reyes'' with the family. It's a tradition: Inside of that there's a figure of one of the Wise Men, the person who has it in his ''Roscón's'' portion is going to have good luck, and the person who has the ''haba'' (a bean) in his ''Roscón's'' portion has to pay the ''Roscón''.
