New year’s Eve is a great night because a year finishes and another begins. We

have 12 grapes when the clock strikes twelve

The day after Christmas we celebrate ‘Sant Esteve’, a day of peace and rest.

This day we eat ‘canalons’ done with the chicken that we ate on Christmas Day. ‘Sant Esteve’ is not as important as Christmas Day but we also eat all

together with our families.

On January 6th, people, mainly children, open their presents and have a good

meal. For desserts, we have a special cake called

“el Tortell de Reixos”. Inside the cake, there are

a figure of a king, it means you win the crown, and a dried bean, which means

you pay for the cake.

Christmas Day is a day to be with your family. We

prepare great meals to fill our bellies and have

a good day. For lunch we usually have soup (“Sopa

de de Nadal” or “Sopa de

Galets”), chicken, and very good desserts.

Els Reis

On 5th January wecelebrate the “Three Wise Men” day, “Els Reixos” inCatalan. There is a big parade with the three

kings, the camels and theirpage boys. That night

children get more presents.
