So almost in most houses we build these the nativity scenes, with little figures, and there are, like on Christmas markets in the cities you can find a lot of these figures to do your own nativity scene. There are also competitions of huge nativity scenes, it's interesting like some of them are very original.
Mi belén sólo tiene cinco figuras. "My nativity scene only has five figures."

Which is a Christmas sweet, similar to marzipan or nougat, it can be of chocolate with some, like, nuts, or it can also be an almond turrón, kind of like a nougat, so it's thick, has a lot of sugar, but it's super traditional during Christmas.
Cuando empiezo a comer turrón de almendra, no puedo parar. "When I start eating almond turron, I cannot stop.”
