Spainish Holidays

It's Carolina again, here to tell you all about Spainish Holidays. Well, first of all is Sundays. While they're not technically "holidays", most, if not all shops will be closed, because many cities in Spain have laws against things such as shopping or hosting events on Sundays. Like many others, we celebrate New Years Day, on the first of every year, but on the 6th of January, we hold an event called The Epiphany, or the King's Day. Held 12 days after Christmas Day, it celebrates when the Kings, or Wise Men, brought gifts to the Baby Jesus. Another odd thing that we do is, while we do celebrate on Christmas Day, the 24th is much more important. Called The Navidad, it is valued by many as more holy. All shops close on that day, but are usually open on Christmas, the day after. That's all for now, Adios, Carolina.
