On Christmas Eve in Spain, families have a meal together and children may receive presents from Santa Claus or wait to ask the Three Wise Men for gifts. On Christmas Day, families eat together playing games and having desserts like nougat and shortbread. On New Year's Eve, people eat 12 grapes at midnight, one with each second of the new year, sometimes making a wish with each grape. On January 5th, children participate in rides where the Three Wise Men throw candy, and families eat together before the Wise Men bring presents that night.
