@fornetti:
I know what you mean. I’ve even seen it with my own eyes, and I’m STILL in denial.

Kai – you are right about both. I didn’t add El Niño as although it is almost as big in lottery terms, it doesn’t cause nearly as much fuss!

Hi Ben, nice description of SC. I wonder if you have forgotten to mention “El Niño” on the 5th or 6th, not sure, and “El roscón de reyes”, which is unthinkable after getting the regalos de reyes.

I just came across your blog but this post made me laugh and laugh….I can totally relate to the constant family dinners. Even though my family is from Puerto Rico and not Spain, it’s still the same drama…:-)

Happy New Year!

Do Spanish people flock to the gym in January to get rid of their ‘michelines’?

Sorry Ben, I have to disagree with your dates as the festive season in Spain begins on December 6th – yes one whole month of puentes, works do’s and the stuff you mentioned above + the bloody canelones in Catalunya on the 26th

And you forget more and more dinner parties that people have during these days. With colleagues from work, with friends…
Viva el vino!, as Rajoy would say, and Viva el turrón!!!
Merry Christmas for everyone from Augusta, Georgia
