Quoted from wikipedia Quote: Spain
In Spain, the Christmas holidays last from December 24 to January 6 and are referred to as "Navidad". Most homes and churches display a Nativity scene. A large family dinner is celebrated on Christmas Eve (Nochebuena) and can last until 6 o' clock in the morning. Even though there is still the traditional Misa del Gallo at midnight, few Spaniards continue to follow the old custom of attending. Children will usually receive one or two presents on Christmas Day, brought by "Papá Noel" (Father Noel), which is an non-traditional imitation of the American Santa Claus. On December 31 (Nochevieja,) there is also a large family feast. On January 5, a huge parade (La Cabalgata) welcomes the Three Kings to the city. Children put their shoes in the window on January 5 in hopes that the Three Wise Men deliver them presents.
