For the kids you have a December calendar with little windows, you open one per day and have a pretty picture or a little figurine.
In many houses you have the 'creche', a recreation of the birth of Jesus made with small figurines called 'santons', special paper to create the grotto, tinfoil for the water etc and Jesus and Mary figures. The baby Jesus figure is added on the night of Christmas. This was a custom from the south so the figurines are all southern in look.

And of course the Christmas tree and mad shopping. That's about all.

Drinking fine wines, eating fine food , enjoying good music and then making mad passionate love. Much the same as Christmas, Epiphany, Assumption and Easter. Or any other morning or afternoon.

With lots of wine and good food of course

Not much actually.
I have no idea how it's done where you are but here remain only a special calendar for december at sweets of some sorts, one for every day. But it isn't getting a lot of attention.


Ilikegirls
same way it is here I'm sure.
