I think that the Spanish Christmas customs are similar to ours such as the tree, the liturgy and the lottery. For me, my favorite custom is on New Year’s Eve when the bell rings 12 times and in every ring of the bell they eat a bunch of grapes.
Nice, Christine! I also liked the custom with the grapes. It is also a bit strange because grapes are harvested in autumn, not in winter.
I like Spanish customs! I got impressed by the custom of the twelve grapes.
In Greece, on New Year’s Eve, we eat a pie we call ‘vasilopita’ with a coin inside (called flouri). The person who gets the coin is lucky for the whole year.
Happy New Year to everyone!
I like Spanish customs too!
I agree with Jim. What caught my interest most was the customs with the twelve grapes.
In Greece at Christmas every year we decorate a tree with colored balls and garlands and at the top of the tree we put a bright star. On New Year’s Eve we eat a cake that is called “vasilopita”.
Inside, the cake has a coin (flouri). We cut the cake in pieces and we give a piece to each one of us. The person who will find the coin into their piece of the cake will be lucky for all the year.
I like Spanish customs. I agree with Jim and Veroniki because what caught my attention the most was the twelve grapes. In Greece every Christmas we cut a pie called “Vasilopita” and one piece of the pie has a coin called “flouri”. The person who gets the piece with the coin is considered to be lucky for all the year.

I liked the Spanish customs very much because they are similar to ours here in Greece.
We also decorate our houses, trees, balconies and stores, everyone gives presents to each other and especially children and we eat a lot of delicious meals these days.
I really liked the spanish customs. Especially the one that Rodrigas Lucas and Dario wrote about, the mazapan treat. It sounds really similar to a sweet that we make during the holidays, called “melomakarona”. I see many similarities with our customs and the ones from Spain. We also decorate our christmas tree and the streets with lights.
Very nice comments, guys! You can also explain the name “vasilopita”, what it means, and describe what melomakarona are. What about Christmas carols? When do people sing carols and what do they ususally get. In the past, in West Macedonia, I know that children didn’t get money when they sang carols but a bag full of candies and fruit.

I like Spanish custom with twelve grapes. It is interesting and quite similar with ours. Greek people use to break a pomegranate to the front door of their houses in order to have good luck, health and well being all year. We see that every people hope and expect the best every New year, moreover in many nations choose a fruit ( a nature’s gift) to symbolize the good things they expect.
Happy new year!!! (❁´◡`❁)
I like the spanish customs! The custom I liked the most is the one with the grapes, because it is funny. I also liked the custom with the three Wise Men because gifts make you happy. In Greece, children sing carols the day before Christmas and on 31st December. On Christmas day my grandmother makes a sweet bread which is called “Christopsomo”.
I like Spanish customs.
In Greece, we cut the Vasilopita and put a small coin inside, whoever wins the coin will be lucky all the time
After the change of the year, we cut the New Year’s pie. It is a custom which comes from the Orthodox Christians living in Asia Minor and they brought it with them when they came to Greece as refugees. We divide Vasilopita into as many pieces as the number of people and we always dedicate a piece to the house and to Christ. Whoever wins the coin that is inside the Vasilopita is the lucky one for the year.
I really liked the game you play called Invisible Man and I think that Roscon De Reyes is the Greek Vasilopita.Here it is pretty much the same except for the fact that we eat delicious sweats like melomakarona and kourampiedes. Also on New Year’s Day we cut a bread shaped like a cake with a hidden coin inside and the person that finds the coin is the lucky of the year.
I like Spanish customs too. I like the most the custom with the stocking, Santa and the snowman. In Greece, we cut a vasilopita and we put a coin in it. Whoever finds the coin will be very lucky this year. Also we eat melomacarona and we sing carols one day before Christmas and one the last day before the New Year.
In Greece we have lots of customs. During the holiday season we put up and decorate the Christmas tree. We bake Vasilopita which is a special pie. We cut it at 12 o’clock and the person who gets the coin is the luckiest of the year. Also we sing carols on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, we smash a pomegranate, we eat melomakarona and courabiedes. After New Year’s Eve we step inside our houses with the right foot for more luck. When we wake up in the morning we find presents under the Christmas tree.
I like Spanish customs!
In Spain they observe some customs like Greece,decorating the trees,lights on the balconies,Christmas carols,etc.But in Greece we also cut a cake called “Vasilopita”,one piece of which has a coin “flouri” that whoever wins it will have good luck all year round.
🎈🎈Happy New Year🎈🎈
Spain’s Christmas time or Navidades lasts until January 6th with the arrival of the Three Kings or Three Wise Men. Although Santa Clause aka Papá Noel is gaining in popularity throughout Spain, the most anticipated day of the year for Spanish children is “El Día de los Reyes”.
I like Spanish customs!
In Greece we eat melomakarona , we decorate the trees
and we open gifts!
Christmas is my favourite time of the year!!!🎅
I also like Spanish costoms .They do some things that are similar to our customs.
they sing carols, they eat melomakarona and they take presents but there are some things that aren’t the same as us. Santa Claus brings them their presents on Christmas’ day but Santa brings our presents on the first day of the year. merry christmas
I like Spanish customs. In Greece we sing carols every year on Christmas’ Eve,
we make Christmas sweets such as kourabiedes and melomakarona.
We also decorate a tree or boat. We exchange gifts and have a Christmas dinner. We have many other customs. Happy New Year!!!
