Christmas Eve, the night before Christmas Day, marks the start of Christmas celebrations across most Western Christian traditions. Many families attend midnight Mass, exchange gifts, or share a special meal together. In Latin America, Spain, and parts of Europe, Christmas Eve (Nochebuena) is the principal celebration rather than Christmas Day itself.
