Catalan traditions on Christmas
It's Christmas time, the coldest season of the year and my favourite to. In Catalonia we have more than two weeks to celebrate Christmas, but Christmas Catalan traditions are very different than the others.
Here we beat a trunk with sticks and finally the trunk give us presents. This tradition is called "Caga el Tió", and we celabrate at 24th of December, Christmas Eve. I celabrate this two times: one with my father's family and the other with my mother's familiy. We can't celabrate at the same day because there isn't time, so we celabrate with my mum's family at 23rd. With my mum's family we make the "invisible friend" that consists it consits in give a present to someone that you have assignate in anonimate. It has to include a clue to identificate who had given us the present. It's very cool.
I love Christmas because all the family can stay together, but the most incredible thing are the dinners and lunches. They are dellicious.
