Ya que haya pasado la cena, se divide en partes iguales y al que le toque el nino Jesus, le toca hacer la fiesta para el proxima ano.
On January 6th, Day of the 3 Wise Men, we buy a "rosca", a bread made in a cingular shape topped with slices of preserved fruit and raisins, inside there is a mini size Jesus baby. After dinner, the "rosca" is cut in equal parts and given to all in attendance, whoever gets the baby Jesus gets to host next year's party.

Answer = Respuesta
The second and the third I don't know cos I'm european
In Spain eat 12 grappes one for every ring of the Puerta del Sol clock bell. Spanish people hear the ring of the bell on the radio or on the TV. We have the grapes at the same time. Another tradition in Spain are have garlic soup and chocolatte with crullers for breakfast on the mornig of New Year's Eve after celebrate it all night. I don't know exactly how to translate "churros" I think it's cruller.
The Epiphani, It's "El DÃa de Los Reyes Magos" It's a tradition. Los Reyes Magos come to home and left the gifts that people (expecialy good children) wish and they had writen a letter to the Reyes Magos previosly telling to them the things or toys they wanted. They left their shoes in the front door the night of 5th of january, so the morning of the 6th of january, children wake up very excited and they rush to see their presents at the side of they shoes.
Are you any special celebration at your home on a holiday day? how is it?
On Easter the godchil give the blessing branch usually bay or palm to the godfather and the fodfather give "El bollo de pascua" (It's a cake) to the godchil. The branch is blessing on the church on Palm Sunday.
