Día De Navidad

¡Feliz Navidad! Don Duende wasted no time in getting el espíritu navideño. Nochebuena at various watering holes, he crept in at 4:30. The rest of mi casa were up bright and early and in full spirit. Don D took some time to warm up. Señora Comecocos prepared a fine comida de Navidad. El pavo and all the trimmings followed by the most exquisite ice cream sundae. Un gran dia. Even Toffee was Christmassed out and took a powernap by the fire.

Factoid: Christmas day in Spain is more or less a continuation of what began the day before. People spend time with their families, they eat another large meal, although not as big as the one the day before, and in many families, children enjoy the gifts that they have received from “Papa Noel”, the Spanish equivalent of Santa Claus. The custom of giving gifts on this date is not as popular as it is in many countries, as Spaniards traditionally wait until Three King’s Day to exchange gifts.
