1 The Spanish Christmas Day

2 There is one tradition in Spain called "Hogueras" (bonfires.) It is characterized by people jumping over fires as a symbolic protection against illness. This “fire-jumping” can be seen primarily in Granada and Jaen.

3 Common traditions include incredibly elaborate "Nacimiento" (nativity scenes), Christmas trees, E.C.T.

4 Spanish Christmas dinner is never eaten until after midnight. It is a family feast, and often highlighted with "Pavo Trufado de Navidad" (Christmas turkey with truffles; truffles are a mushroom-like delicacy found underground). After that they sing hymns..

5 "Esta noche es Noche-Buena, Y no es noche de dormir" (This is the goodnight, therefore it is not meant for sleep.)

6 Christmas Day in Spain is spent at church, at feasts and in more merry-making. But that isn’t all, thy believe that It is not Santa who comes to Spain bearing gifts, but the Three Wise Men.
