Christmas in Mexico
Mexico celebrates Christmas for longer than 4-days. They celebrate for an entire month—from December 12 to January 6. From the posada tradition of a Christmas party with lots of food, drink, and pinatas to nativity scenes covering lawns all over the neighborhood to the over-the-top decorations, Mexico celebrates the Christmas holiday with such vibrancy. And although there is no Santa Claus to speak of and no gifts are exchanged on Christmas day, except for the areas with a heavy Western influence, January 6th holds true as an important day for everyone in Mexico.
