I'm Alejandro, I celebrate christmas time but I suppose different and in Germany do. At home we put a Christmas tree with lights and we make the "Pessebre" that is the cave with the characters of Jesus's birth. At 24th december night we eat a delicious meal and we go to bed late. We don't celebrate the "Tió". In Christmas morning we give a present to each other, for instants, i make a present for my mother, an other for my father and an other for my brother and i receive three presents. Then we go for a walk in family. At 31st night we eat 12 grapes according to chimes and we celebrate new year. Then in 6th of december we don't celebrate reis because we always go on holidays around this dates and we ski a lot. We need to go away in the mountains where there is snow because here isn't and we think winter without snow isn't winter.

Now I'm going to explain a bit Christmas traditions in Catalonia:

- El Tió: It is a wooden log with a drawn face , four little logs as legs and covered with a barretina, a hat typical in Catalonia and a squared blanket. People feed it with orange and mandarin peel for example, is the most typical. At 24th night they hit it with sticks while they sing the song and then they take out the blanket and there are presents inside.

- El Pesebre: It is a model of the stable where Jesus was born. People put there the figures of all the characters present there: Jesus, his parents, the three kings, the pastors, the angels and the animals.

-Els Reis: They are, according to the tradition the three men that gave presents to Jesus in his birth. At 5th January evening they ride around the town in their floats. The tradition is that at night they come to each house and they leave the presents that children ordered in letters. But they only give presents to children which have behaven. They give coal to children which haven't behaven.
