Last
Christmas were very special for me, because was they were the first
Christmas of my little cousin and I “cagar el tió” with him and we went
to the Three Wise Men Parade, too. I love Christmas and I decorated all
my house with typical things, for example I placed a nativity scene and a
Christmas tree at home. All my family went to my grandparents’ house to
celebrate the most important days here like Christmas, “San Esteban”
(26th December), New Year… "Children cagant el tió"We sang carols and played board games: for example “Quinto”, a board game similar to the Bingo. We ate typical food from here for example soup of “galets” (soup with a kind of pasta), “turrons” something that is made of: chocolate, almonds , coconut, coffee,… there are sereveral different tastes...
"Turrons"
At Christmas Eve Santa Claus came to our house and he gave some presents specially for the children.
The
30th of December I went to see “Els Pastorets” (a play about Christmas)
with my best friend. it’s typical in Catalonia but not in Spain.
I ate twelve grapes to start the New Year (31st of December at 12 o’clock, a typical tradition in Spain to do), after this we cheered with “cava”.
In
the 5th of January I went to the Three Wise Men Parade something
typical here and something that children like a lot because they can see
the Three Wise Men and because they throw sweets, too.
In
the 6th of January we ate “Tortell de Reis”, a typical dessert that
has two presents: a bean (if you get it, you have to pay the “tortell”)
and a little figure of one of the Three Wise Men (if you get it, you
have to put on a crown look like a king).

I wish everyone had a nice Christmas holiday! :)
