This Christmas was wonderful. I celebrated it with my family and friends. The Christmas holidays began the 21^st of December and ended the 8^th of January. 

The celebrations started the 24^th of December. We celebrated “La nit de Nadal”. We ate some typical food, and for dessert we ate something called “turrons and polvorons”. This night came Santa Claus, with a lot of presents for everyone. The presents are under the Christmas tree, and “Caga Tió*” The next day we celebrate Christmas day and we ate some typical food,too.

 "Caga  Tió"

The 31^st of December. This day is called New Year’s Eve. This day we celebrated that started a new year, and we ate twelve grapes. The next day was New Year’s Day.

The last celebration was the Three Wise Men. The 5^th of January at night we went to the Three Wise Men parade to see them. And the 6^th of January we celebrated that everyone had a lot of presents in their house.

In Spain, for Christmas we decorated the houses, the shops, and the streets with a lot of things. For example we decorated with a Christmas tree, with “Caga Tió” and with a Nativity Scene.

*Caga Tió: Is a piece of wood the gives small presents to  the children.
