- Christmas in Mexico is a
religious holiday season with a series of ancient celebration in
commemoration of the birthday of Jesus Christ. Mexicans prepare nine
days of consecutive symbolic tribute called ‘Posadas’ starting on 16th
December and ending on 24th December , a holy night.
- The Posadas is a local cultural tradition which is
basically a performance of small children recreating the scene when
St.Joseph and virgin Mary were looking for accommodation in Bethlehem at
the time of Jesusbirth.

- Start your Christmas morning with a warm mug of Mexican hot chocolate, a
richer, spicier version of the American package of hot cocoa.
Traditional Mexican hot chocolate is made with Mexican chocolate, a
spicy type of chocolate that exudes cacao, almond and cinnamon flavors.
Whisking melted Mexican chocolate with milk or cream and flavoring it
with a pinch of cayenne or chili powder makes one eye-opening Christmas
morning treat.

- Succulent, spicy pork
tamales were a Christmas tradition in my family. We gathered together
and made dozens of them assembly-line style as a way to celebrate the
holidays and spend delicious quality time together. Tamales can be made
savory or sweet. Savory tamales can be filled with pork, chicken or
beef, while sweet tamales are irresistible when made with nuts, dried
fruit and chocolate.

- In Mexico Christmas is not just a single day, but a whole season of
Christmas-related celebrations which stretches from December 16th
through February 2nd. Gift-giving is done on January 6th (the day which
marks the visit of the three kings to Jesus in the manger), and is not
as important as time spent with family and religious celebrations. Goole.ca
