On Christmas Eve in Portugal, families gather for a traditional meal that usually includes cooked cod, potatoes, eggs, and cabbage. Popular desserts served include "bolo-rei," a Christmas cake, "arroz-doce," a rice pudding, and "rabanadas," fried bread soaked in a custard. After the meal, many Portuguese attend midnight mass and celebrate Jesus' birth, open presents, and watch fireworks to celebrate Christmas.
