A beautiful plastic real-looking Christmas tree (we have to be ecological ) with lots of decoration on it! Some beautiful ardornments around, and also some decoration on the flat's door to cheer anyone entering. In the past we used to display chrismas cards as a collage, but for some reason people do not send them anymore since almost a decade ago

But the center of it all is the nativity scene, which is very traditional here in Spain; it is like a small diorama When I was a child we used to display it on a small folding table, with over 40 figures in it. Well, ususally it only displays the nativity itself, but many people, like us, like to make it large.

Side note: read about the "Caganer", a traditional figure used in the nativity scene here in Catalonia <<< yes, it's real



EDIT: I've found a guide to the Spanish Christmas calendar
