HISTORY
Mary and Joseph had a baby called Jesus.
A big start appears in the sky to show where Jesus was born.
Three kings went from their homes following
the star to give presents to Jesus.
During the Christmas holiday children in Spain write their letters to the three Wise
Men, telling them what presents they would like.
There is no special food like in England, you eat meat, or fish or soup. But there
are special sweets.
For example, these delicious
“turrones”
or these sweets called
“polvorones”
