What is Christmas?

Christmas is the feast held to celebrate the birth of Jesus. After the Church became one of the most important holidays of the Christian religion.

Christmas tradition

Christmas is a deeply religious holiday in Spain. the Christmas season officially begins December 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception. 

Christmas Eve is known as Nochebuena (Christmas Eve). It is a time for family members to gather together to rejoice and feast around the Nativity scenes that are present in nearly every home. A traditional Christmas treat is turrón, a kind of almond candy.

December 28 is the feast of Santos Inocentes (Holy Innocents). Young boys of a town or village light bonfires and one of them acts as the mayor who orders townspeople to perform civic chores such as sweeping the streets. Refusal to comply results in fines which are used to pay for the celebration.

As in many European countries, the children of Spain receive gifts on the feast of the Epiphany. Los Tres Reyes Magos (The Magi) are particularly revered in Spain. It is believed that they travel through the countryside reenacting their journey to Bethlehem every year at this time. Children leave their shoes on the windowsills and fill them with straw, carrots, and barley to feed the horses of the Wise Men. Their favorite is Balthazar who rides a donkey and is the one believed to leave the gifts.

Lyric:

Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer 
Had a very shiny nose 
And if you ever saw him 
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer 
Used to laugh and call him names 
They never let poor Rudolph 
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve 
Santa came to say: 
"Rudolph with your nose so bright, 
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him 
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer 
You'll go down in history!"
