Christmas is a very intense period in Spain, especially in this country where most people have emigrated to different cities more industrialized to be able to work. It should be emphasized that the fact that it is Christmas already invades us emotionally and that this implies that we have some signs of identity when we eat with ours.
But we are going to talk a little about the history of the Christmas lots and baskets, in Spain, this tradition began to become customary from the end of the year 1898, and it is that at that time the work of public workers was rewarded, since the working conditions were very different from those of the current.
From there, the tradition began to expand to private companies, which provided wicker baskets or Christmas batches of meat products, especially baskets of cold cuts sausages to give away, accompanied by preserves , cheeses and wine.
Above all, it is important to emphasize that this tradition is currently in use in the private sector, and not in all companies, since it is not an obligation of them.
Let us bear in mind that not in all communities the fact of giving a basket is accentuated, if not rather, it is the east of the country and Madrid where the gift of the Christmas basket is most popular .
