How do People in Spain Celebrate Christmas?

People in Spain celebrate Christmas in a much different way then the U.S, Canada, or other western countries. First of all, Christmas in Spain is not as commericalised. The Spanish treat it more as a religious event. The Spanish do however, decorate their houses with lights and nativity scenes. Christmas Eve is called Nochebuena and is the most important family gathering in the world. They typically have a much calmer Christmas Day celebration then on Nochebuena. There may be small presents for the children, but the main present giving day is typically Three Kings Day (Janurary 6th).
