Xmas in Spain

Christmas holidays in Spain begin 22th December, but Christmas day is 25th, in that day the families meet in order to show and share the gifts that one night before Papá Noel (Santa Claus) bring to them.
we call that night "Noche buena" and we amused a lot seeing the faces of happiness of the moved children waiting for Santa Claus.
After all the gifts, arrives New Year's Eve, the last night of the year,a night where, like every year, at 12: oo P.M. we seat in front of the television set and with each ring of the bell from the clock we took a grape and then, celebration with the friends!
When it is already New Year the gifts have not yet finished because in Spain we have three men (Melchor, Gaspar and Balthasar) that on 6th January still bring gifts to us, these men are the magicians , who use to come mounted in camels, and with them we say goodbye to Christmas in Spain.
