This is how we celebrate Christmas in Madrid.
On the 24th of December, we celebrate Christmas Eve time in some familiar's house. We met all together for dinner something special a special dinner. It's We typically to eat shrimps and something like turkey or pork.
At 21:30 9:30pm, the Spanish king comes came out in the TV to say his Christmas message. In it, he talked about the the year that has passed and wishes all of us a merry Christmas.
In the national TV channel, they broadcast some cheesy special shows of people dancing and singing, and it's typically an annoying singer called Raphael that sings the song El Tamborilero. Argh!
When the clock strikes midnight, It's time to search the presents which have been hidden in the house by Papa Noel (well, in my family don't like Papa Noel, as we are tradicional Christians, and at my house, comes El Niño Jesus)
This is the time when all the kids (and not so kids) go searching throughout all the house, until they find it.
I have very good memories on doing this when I was a kid, so I put special care in my nephews, so they could have good memories when they grow up too.
Thank you for sharing how you celebrate Christmas in Spain. ¡Feliz Navidad!
I am not a native English speaker myself but I hope my correction helps.
When we express when we do something on a specific day, we use "on" + the date or the day of the week. In Spanish we say "Tenemos fiestas los sábados." but in English we say "We have parties on Saturdays."
In English-speaking country, people prefer to use "12-hour time + am/pm" to express the time. So I changed 21:30 to 9:30pm. I don't think it is an error, though.
