Hi, I'm Spanish and I have to say that, although some of your claims are correct, there's also some inaccuracies:
"A deeply religious occasion" indeed! But just for a minority of Spanish people. For most, it's all about school holidays, shopping for presents and hearty meals, and meeting friends who live elsewhere and come back to join their families for the festivies. Religion is not that important anymore.
"Everything closes down for Christmas": ...but opens again on 26th! Shopping is actually at its wildest after New Year's Day, when people (in typical Spanish fashion) go on a last-minute shopping spree for presents. Try visiting a shopping centre on the evening of January 5th! It's crazy. So, is it boring for kids? I seriously think there's a bit of British bias thrown into the article.
Having said that, a personal view is always... personal, so I guess there are as many visions of our Christmas as there are foreign visitors in Spain. And this article's much better than most of the nonsense I've read about Spanish Christmas on the Internet. | 12/15/2011 2:33:00 AM | Gabriel |
this was great for my spanish homework | 1/3/2012 3:52:00 PM | MCawesome |
I agree with some of Gabriel's last comment and some of Susan's. It is a good article, we live in Catalunya in The Costa Brava, See Brava Connect for what I do. I'd agree that there is less commercialism, and Christmas lights don't go on until 1st Dec, even then, only at night. Locally to us we have a few live cribs,which I have to say are really quite fantastic. The one near us, is the walk to Bethlehem and apart from shepherds in red Catalan hats (instead of tea cloths), it is like going back in time.
Personally I find the atmosphere really lovely. The English church in the Costa Brava has an English Christmas fair, this year on 1st Dec at Madremanya, also the English Church service is fabulous. (see English Church Costa Brava.
I agree that the Spanish are not all religious and Gabriela's right a lot of eating and drinking goes on.
I think the children here are pretty well entertained,but you do need to integrate.
Three Kings in every town and village is fabulous, in Barcelona they come in by boat. In Girona there is a fabulous procession.
I try and get all my English presents away before early December then we settle back to enjoy a very traditional Christmas, far more like I had as a child.
Well done Susan for a very enjoyable article.

Rubbish. It tells u nothing | 1/6/2013 5:31:00 PM | Lyon-Kyle |
Yes | 1/6/2013 5:33:00 PM | Jimmy Brookes |
dear joy and lyon, if you come onto this page then complain about it, you are obviously slightly retarded, what you have done is like seeing a piece of sh*t on the sidewalk, and rather than avoid it, you jump in it and start rolling around screaming "i don't like it! it smells like sh*t!" so the next time you see something you don't like, ignore and avoid it, please. | 1/6/2013 6:02:00 PM | spongebob muthafu**a |
