In my family it is traditional to eat "cochinillo asado" (roasted suckling pig) on Christmas Eve. Of course the recipe is a family secret, but this one is close enough: https://www.spain-recipes.com/cochinillo-asado.html
On New Year's Eve, at midnight, we have the silly tradition of eating one grape with each bell strike of the clock (it's supposedly "lucky"). So, 12 grapes eaten at high speed (choking is a serious New Year's hazard). Nobody knows for sure how this started; legend says that around 100 years ago there was an extremely productive grape harvest and the farmers needed some excuse to sell the excess.
Gifts in Spain are traditionally given on January 6th instead of Christmas Day (it's the Three Wise Men who bring them). As with every festivity, there is a traditional food, in this case the "Roscón de Reyes". Here's a bilingual recipee: http://www.vivalanguageservices.co.uk/blog/receta-para-roscon-de-reyes-recipe-for-kings-cake/
My favorite Christmas song is Don't Shoot Me Santa.
Thanks for the giveaway, I'd like to be in and my wishlist is public.
