On Christmas eve, there is a
tradition for children.
Children have a piece of log and
hit the log with a stick, suddenly
presents appear under the log.
This tradition has a name “Cagar
el Tio”.
The children hit it and sing
songs.

On this day, I celebrate Christmas with
my family and we have a big lunch, we
eat good food and sweets. A typical
dessert is “Torrons”, this is a Catalan
dessert.
The houses are decorated with lights,
candles, Christmas trees and Christmas
decorations.
Some people go to church at night on
Christmas day because there is a special
mass called “La missa del Gall”.
In the mass people sing christmas
songs.

This day is special for children
because children get a lot of
presents.
In Spain we have three kings,
and they bring presents.
In my village, the kings arrive in
boats, in the river there’s music,
songs and rockets.
They also walk along the streets
and give sweets to the children.

I like the nativity scene in my village
because everybody participates in it.
People dress in different ways,
representing the scenes.
There are demons, angels and the
scene of Jesus birth.
All the scenes are situated in the old
part of the village and near the
bridge and the river.
It is a cold night but it is very
beautiful.
