A Comparison of Christmas in America and Spain

The Christmas season in the United States has not yet begun, but the celebration will end on 30th December. Christmas in Spain officially began at the Immaculate Conception on December 8 and ended on January 6th or El Dia de los Reyes Magos (King of Day 3). Four other celebrations including December 28th Innocent Saints Day, Christmas Eve's "Nochebuena" (Good night), Navida (Christmas), and Christmas Day Nochevieja are in this period celebrated on New Year's Eve.

Christmas and St. Stephen's Day are officially recognized holidays in Spain. In most parts of Spain, it was called "Navida" during Christmas time and "Nochebuena" or "Good Night" from Christmas Eve. On 24th December, on January 6th I went to the main festival. Many families and most churches show nativity scenes, Christmas trees, or both. Pesebre (Scenes of Nativity) can be seen in many families, schools and shops. On 26th, Sant Esteve (St. Stephen) celebrated the reunion of his family. On the eve of Christmas (Nochebuena), we celebrate a big family dinner that will last until 6am. On this special evening, there are various typical dishes on the plates across Spain, each with its own cuisine. However, it is particularly common for it to start with seafood dishes (such as shrimp and squid), followed by a hot homemade soup bowl. The main meal usually includes seafood such as roast rum or salmon and shellfish.
