December

December is the month of Christmas and of the nativity scenes. On the night of December 24th, the Tió is made to “poop” and, traditionally, the Midnight Mass is held to celebrate the birth of Jesus. And on the 25th is Christmas. All families gather for a big meal: escudella, roast, and turrón. Saint Stephen’s Day and the Day of the Holy Innocents are also celebrated… Ah!, and on the last day of the year, the “Man of the Noses” appears!
