in Spain Santa doesn’t deliver present, and it isn’t in new years.

Presents are delivered a week after Christmas and by the “three wise men” or in Spanish “Reyes magos” (wizard kings, way cooler). because it’s in the tail end of the holiday, school starts the day after, so kids can have a day to play with their new stuff.

Also, in Catalunya, it is tradition to have little popping figurines in their nativity scenes. and they have the “Shitting buddy” (Caga tio, usually translated as yule log, but fuck that, it’s a shitting buddy that poops candy and little present after being beaten.

the Christmas tree tradition was a Victorian invention.

I’ll add more trivia if I remember it later
