Spain
Christmas
and St Stephen's Day are officially recognized holidays in Spain. In most of Spain, the Christmas period,
referred to as "Navidad", lasts from Christmas Eve referred to as
"Nochebuena" or "the Good Night." on the 24th of December
to Epiphany on the 6 January. Many homes and most churches display a Nativity
scene, others a Christmas tree. In Catalonia, the Tio de nadal (a log with a cloth for hiding
presents under) is part of the celebration.
