Le réveillon de Noël est constitué par la soirée du 24 décembre qui précède Noël. Il est l'occasion d'organiser un repas festif au sein des familles, car Noël restant un instant magique pour les enfants, le réveillon doit y contribuer. Ce repas est souvent constitué d'une dinde de Noël et terminé par une bûche de Noël en France. Il peut aussi s'agir d'une oie ou de foie gras. Il est souvent précédé d'un plat de fruits de mer (huîtres, etc.). Il existe aussi une tradition dite des Treize desserts, en souvenir de Jésus et de ses douze apôtres. Cette tradition vient de Provence. C'est aussi le moment de préparer les chaussettes ou les chaussures à mettre près de la cheminée ou sous le sapin de Noël pour permettre au Père Noël de livrer les cadeaux de Noël. Enfin pour les catholiques, le réveillon de Noël est suivi ou coupé par la messe de minuit qui reste encore très populaire dans l'esprit collectif, même si elle est plus souvent dite en début de soirée qu'à minuit. Au retour de la messe ou à minuit, il est de tradition qu'un enfant ajoute le personnage de l'Enfant Jésus dans la crèche pour signifier qu'il est né. À minuit, il est courant de se fêter un joyeux Noël et dans certaines familles c'est le moment d'ouvrir les cadeaux. D'autres familles attendront le lendemain matin. 1, record 10, French, - r%C3%A9veillon%20de%20No%C3%ABl

La Nochebuena se celebra el día 24 de diciembre, víspera del día de Navidad (25 de diciembre). Es la celebración cristiana del nacimiento de Jesús y las costumbres varían de unos países a otros pero es bastante común una reunión familiar para cenar y, sobre todo en los países protestantes, el hacer regalos. Es costumbre en España el cantar villancicos acompañados de la pandereta y la zambomba, así como comer turrón, mazapán, polvorones y otros dulces. En México se acostumbra presentar pastorelas, que son obras teatrales cortas -generalmente humorísticas- que tienen como argumento las vicisitudes que debe enfrentar un grupo de pastores y gente de pueblo para llegar a Belén a adorar al niño Jesús. 3, record 10, Spanish, - Nochebuena

Westerly jet stream of maximum intensity near the stratopause, in the middle and subpolar latitudes of the winter hemisphere, caused by prolonged radiative cooling of the air in high latitudes during this season. 1, record 15, English, - polar%20night%20jet
Record number: 15, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Polar-night jet stream. This jet meanders through the upper stratosphere over the poles. It occurs only during the long winter night. Remember, night is 6 months long over the pole in which winter is occurring. The polar stratosphere undergoes appreciable cooling due to the lack of solar radiation. The horizontal temperature gradient is strongly established between the equator and the pole, and the pressure gradient creates this westerly jet. The temperature gradient breaks down intermittently during middle and late winter in the Northern Hemisphere; therefore, the jet is intermittent at these times. In the Southern Hemisphere the temperature gradient and jet disappear rather abruptly near the time of the spring equinox. 3, record 15, English, - polar%20night%20jet
