Christmas traditions in this region include decorating streets with lights and playing carols, decorating homes with Christmas trees, cribs, and figures of Santa Claus and the Magi. Families gather for dinner on Christmas Eve when children expect gifts from Santa Claus, and again on New Year's Eve when they eat 12 grapes with midnight chimes; January 6th commemorates the visit of the Three Magi with a parade and gifts left in children's homes.
