In Spain, gifts are received from the Three Wise Men and not Santa at Christmas. Aspects of the sentence to focus on:‘Se reciben’ - using ‘se’ to generalise, plural use of the verb is used because it correlates with the noun ‘regalos’Specific vocabulary - los Reyes Magos, Papá NoelAvoiding calcs - changing the tense of the sentence to fit more accordingly with the language’durante’ - translates more naturally to ‘at’ in English
