Yes, I know I go on and on about all this Christmas stuff, but I really do enjoy Christmas and it is an important subject for me. So I thought I would do a bit of a comparison.

Weather
UK: Mostly wet and depressing weather in the winter, but there is that chance of snow.
Spain: Could be so so, or you might be lucky enough to be able to walk around in a t-shirt and enjoy the sun. This is obviously nice but not very Christmassy at all.

Decorations
UK: Lots of decorations everywhere, in every shop and on every corner. Can be a bit overwhelming.
Spain: Quite a few decorations, but they do it a bit differently. I have seen a fair amount of trees with a shooting star in the top of it. Everybody knows there is not supposed to be a shooting star at the top. Especially not one which threatens to topple the tree because it is so absolutely massive.

Snacks and sweet things
UK: Abundance of yummy things that I would like to eat!
Spain: Uhm..Turron (see picture) in its many many varieties. And I am not sure I like a single one. They also have some cookies called Polverones with Polvo meaning dust, and I tell you they are dusty. You bite into them and they kinda disintegrate into your mouth leaving you coughing and spluttering with all the dust going down the wrong way. Not nice.
