On Christmas Eve, a family dinner or "Consoada" is celebrated with boiled codfish and potatoes with cabbage and other vegetables. After the meal, people eat traditional fried desserts: "filhoses or filhós" are made of fried pumpkin dough; "rabanadas" bread that is mixed with egg and syrup; "azevias" are round cakes made of a crust filled with a mixture of chick peas, sugar, and orange peel; "aletria" is a vermicelli sweet with eggs, typical of Norte region.

Here in my country we do have several cultures and each one do their own thing for Christmas but the popular activities done for eve are simply going to church with family, shopping again with family and indeed special dinner whatever it is at home or restaurant.
