It actually means “the Good Night”, and it’s the day most big celebrations happen in Spain, like the dinner feast with family and Midnight Mass.

In Spanish (also sometimes called Castilian) Happy/Merry Christmas is ‘Feliz Navidad’; in Catalan, Asturian and Occitan it’s ‘Bon Nadal’; in Galician ‘Bo Nadal’; in Aragonese it’s ‘Feliz Nadal’ and in Basque (or Euskara in basque) ‘Eguberri on’. Happy/Merry Christmas in lots more languages.

Feliz Año Nuevo

Each year between December 24 and January 6, Spain comes alive to celebrate Christmas, or Navidad in Spanish. During this time of the year, everyone strives to fill their days with happiness, joy, and family harmony, although some are more successful than others.

When you shake hands,if the other person says “mucho gusto” (nice to meet you)first, it is acceptable to reply: “igualmente” (likewise) or “el gusto es mío” (the pleasure is mine). You are showing good manners in Spanish with these phrases. You can also use the response: “encantado” (enchanted), if you’re a man.

mucho gusto, my pleasure (to help you)

you’re welcome

nice to meet you pleased to
