In Catalonia, families decorate their homes and Christmas trees with lace, figures and lights for Christmas and some set up nativity scenes. Traditional Christmas desserts include polvorons, turrons and neules. Children are told that a magic log called the Tió de Nadal brings presents if they sing and hit it, and on New Year's Eve families and friends eat 12 grapes together at midnight while on January 5th children watch processions for the Three Magic Kings and go to bed early so the kings will bring them presents.
