Yes, Thilda, I forgot to mention the mass after midnight, we call it MISA DEL GALLO (cock mass), and the churchs are open all day too. I forgot to mention the representation of the born of Jesus by teatre groups in diferent parks, and of course the presentation of the kids chorus and the orchestra mainly in the old churches of the old naiborhood.
It's nice to know the tradition of your country, very interesting the mix of mith and christianity. Sound weird for me the times of light you have, here in now the sun come out at 6:00am and go down at 8:30pm in winter come out at 8:00 and go down at 6:30 pm.
We undecorate the tree and the house at january 6 when we celebrate the Magician Kings at the night of january 5 the kids will leave their old shoes with some grass inside for the camels, and at the morning of the 6 they will receive new shoes with candies inside. (but this another tradition that is loosing too) :sad:
