Spanish Xmas – Still Going

January 3rd, 2008 - Sandra Marshall

Further to my article today ‘Xmas Blues’ I hadn’t quite realised just how long Xmas goes on for the average Spanish family:

“I recently complained that Spanish Christmas went on much too long, and many thought I was referring to the run-up to Christmas. No. What lasts a long time in Spain is Christmas itself, a veritable test of endurance with big events starting around December 22nd, and running all the way through to January 6th. Do you think you could take the pace? All I can say is this: here’s hoping you get on well with your family! Let’s run through it, meal by meal, day by day:”
