In my experience, both the boys and girls would use cedar, the bundles represented their personal wishes
Poland
I've never heard of this! We do put hay under the table cloth but it symbolises the hay Jesus was put in when he was born :) Another wonderful tradition we have is sharing the holy wafer between each of the guests, right before the Christmas Eve dinner. We then tell each other good wishes and eat a piece of the holy wafer from the person who gives you the wishes. :)

I really enjoyed. I am missing the Spanish tradition: we eat one grape each second during the 12 seconds previous to midnight in New Year's
Let me tell you that, as a Portuguese guy that allways lived in Portugal, I've never heard about that tradition. And it is not "Cosoada", it is "Consoada".
