Christmas has come and gone, but that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re done talking about it! Now that the holidays are over and you\u2019re seeing your friends and coworkers, you\u2019re probably talking about what you did. We want to give you vocabulary to talk about la Nochebuena<\/em>, or Christmas Eve, and la Navidad<\/em>, or Christmas Day. These words will help you share how you spent your time off. In addition, you can ask what someone else did, or even better understand holiday videos you see online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Nochebuena and La Navidad common traditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, you\u2019ll notice that the Spanish-speaking world likely has different holiday traditions than you do. Every country and region has different foods and customs. For example, you\u2019ll see Spaniards snacking on turr\u00f3n<\/em><\/a>, but your Mexican friends might prefer bu\u00f1uelos<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some countries, it\u2019s chilly outside during Christmastime, but in the southern hemisphere, it could be warmer. This affects what different cultures do for dun during the holidays, and what foods they make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, there aren\u2019t too many common traditions that all Spanish-speaking countries celebrate because of how different every country\u2019s culture is. We\u2019ll give you vocabulary to help you be able to communicate some of the most popular holiday traditions, but we\u2019d love for you to let us know more that you do in the comments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s take a look at verbs in the past to talk about what you did in the past. If you\u2019re talking about an action that has a set start and end point, or happened just once, you\u2019re going to want to use the preterite tense. However, if you\u2019re talking about things you used to do when you were younger, you\u2019ll want to use the imperfect tense. If you want to talk about what you do habitually, you\u2019ll use the present tense. It\u2019s totally fine if you need a little refresher on the preterite vs. imperfect<\/a> or the present tense!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
