CHRISTMAS IN SPAIN
In Spain we spent Christmas of these way: day 24 we celebrated Pope noel, that he is a personage dressed in a red suit and beard that brings gifts to the children who have behaved well and to that not because it brings coal to them.
The 28 are the day of the innocent saints and the tradition is to crack jokes to people and to hang dolls to him of paper in the back without of account.
The day 31 is New Year's Eve, and it is celebrated taking twelve grapes simultaneously that they sound the twelv "campanadas" ones that announce the New Year. It is tradition to take an article of red color to have luck in the love in the next year, and to finish day 6 of January, the magical kings of west bring more Christmas presents, during all these dates he is typical to eat "turrones" and "mazapanes"of dessert.
