Merry Christmas to All,
While I'm kind of partial to "Silent Night" and "God Bless Ye Merry Gentleman" I haven't heard enough of Alvin, the Hippopotamus song or the Grinch song this year. The radio stations I listen to must be taking Christmas serious this year.

While my parents sent me a couple Christmas gifts to open I'll wait and save them for Los Reyes Magos on the 6th of January when everyone else here is opening their gifts. Today I spent the day and evening with the ones I love and tomorrow will be more relaxed, less important. While in my country with my family it's just the opposite. For us there, Christmas Eve isn't important. It's Christmas morning and day which is special for us. I'd sent my parents a gift basket from www.Tienda.com and it seemed it all arrived ontime except for the Tetilla cheese from Galicia - which was back-ordered. Too bad. They did get, however, the guindillas, the almonds, the 8 cans of anchovy-stuffed olives, and a couple other things. Before Christmas they kindly asked me NOT to send them the chorizo, jamón, salchichón, and lomo this year as I did last year because "it's all full of fat." Ha! They don't know what they're missing. Saludos, MadridMan

Thanks Neddie! It's Christmas Day!!! For those whom celebrate this wonderful annual holiday today, hope your children didn't wake you up TOO early or sneak downstairs to find the presents before everyone else. The son of a Spanish friend I have here in Madrid put a bucket of water out for the reindeer last night - JUST IN CASE. But Santa Claus (a.k.a. "Papa Noel" here) didn't come since it's not the custom. He'll have to wait for the Magic Kings on January 6th. I think he was "covering all bases". Saludos, MadridMan

And welcome to you, toñete. It's always nice to have new members - and even nicer to have new SPANISH members - to the message board.
My Christmas Day was pretty low-key. Today, I still felt like I was "On Vacation" but tomorrow will definitely be a "back to work" day.
I still have a number of gifts to buy tomorrow at FNAC in downtown Madrid. I'm NOT looking forward to that crowded nightmare. But luckily I/we have until January 6th to resolve shopping responsibilities.
Saludos, MadridMan
