Christmas Eve, December 24, the day before Christmas Day, is treated to a greater or a lesser extent in most Christian societies as part of the Christmas festivities. Christmas Eve is the traditional day to set up the Christmas tree, but as the Christmas season has been extended several weeks back(to Thanksgiving in the United States), many trees will have been set up for weeks. 1, record 2, English, - Christmas%20Eve

Le réveillon de Noël est constitué par la soirée du 24 décembre qui précède Noël. Il est l'occasion d'organiser un repas festif au sein des familles, car Noël restant un instant magique pour les enfants, le réveillon doit y contribuer. Ce repas est souvent constitué d'une dinde de Noël et terminé par une bûche de Noël en France. Il peut aussi s'agir d'une oie ou de foie gras. Il est souvent précédé d'un plat de fruits de mer (huîtres, etc.). Il existe aussi une tradition dite des Treize desserts, en souvenir de Jésus et de ses douze apôtres. Cette tradition vient de Provence. C'est aussi le moment de préparer les chaussettes ou les chaussures à mettre près de la cheminée ou sous le sapin de Noël pour permettre au Père Noël de livrer les cadeaux de Noël. Enfin pour les catholiques, le réveillon de Noël est suivi ou coupé par la messe de minuit qui reste encore très populaire dans l'esprit collectif, même si elle est plus souvent dite en début de soirée qu'à minuit. Au retour de la messe ou à minuit, il est de tradition qu'un enfant ajoute le personnage de l'Enfant Jésus dans la crèche pour signifier qu'il est né. À minuit, il est courant de se fêter un joyeux Noël et dans certaines familles c'est le moment d'ouvrir les cadeaux. D'autres familles attendront le lendemain matin. 1, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9veillon%20de%20No%C3%ABl

La Nochebuena se celebra el día 24 de diciembre, víspera del día de Navidad (25 de diciembre). Es la celebración cristiana del nacimiento de Jesús y las costumbres varían de unos países a otros pero es bastante común una reunión familiar para cenar y, sobre todo en los países protestantes, el hacer regalos. Es costumbre en España el cantar villancicos acompañados de la pandereta y la zambomba, así como comer turrón, mazapán, polvorones y otros dulces. En México se acostumbra presentar pastorelas, que son obras teatrales cortas -generalmente humorísticas- que tienen como argumento las vicisitudes que debe enfrentar un grupo de pastores y gente de pueblo para llegar a Belén a adorar al niño Jesús. 3, record 2, Spanish, - Nochebuena
