Nearly every village, town and city in Spain celebrate Christmas and New Year, Seville being no exception. However, there are usually no lights, christmas street decorations, and much Christmas stock in the shops until the beginning of December. Then we start practising for Christmas and New Year. Christmas itself is fairly quiet as the major present giving day is the evening of the 5th January or the morning of the 6th ( The 3 Kings ) - huge processions with floats, live camels, and special sweets hurled in their thousands to kids lining the street. The New Year celebrations are more for adults, and are not as frenetic as the UK, but still masses of people gather in squares to toast the new year in. It is a tradition to swallow a grape and wash it down with a swig of champagne in between each stroke of the midnight bell. I admit to cheating, and freeze small grape so they go down more easily.
