Christmas in Portugal

       

       Christmas is celebrated in December. It's winter, so it's cold, it rains a lot and snow falls in the higher regions.
       The Portuguese celebrate Christmas with family. First, we decorate our homes with a pine tree, the nativity scene, lights ...

       On the 24th, we join the Christmas dinner. We eat cod with cabbage and some sweets like sonhos, coscorões, bolo rei ...

       At midnight we exchange gifts.
       On the 25^th we have lunch and dinner with the family.
       It is one of the greatest feasts of the year.
