Hi there!
You know Christmas is coming and it's getting near.
I'm interested in how people all around the world spend not only Xmas day but the other celebration days too.
In Spain we have too many celebrations gathered all together in few days.
Before Xmas it's normal to make a Pesebre (Nativity Scene. Some people only put the main characters (Jesus, Joseph, Maria, the animals, the angel...) but some people really make huge (and I mean HUGE!) pesebres that look like an entire minitown.
I don't know how it is in the rest of Spain but in Catalunya there's the Fira de Santa Llucia that is like a street market but only about elements of the pesebre or related to Christmas.
-The 24th is what we call Nochevieja (literally Old Night). Family gather to have supper (at least that's my situation). Not holiday.
-The 25th is (obviously) Christmas (we call it Navidad) and, again, the family gathers to eat all together. We always eat canelons......
