My Favorite Holiday


My favorite holiday is Christmas. The Mexican Traditions for Christmas is an important and religious holiday. It is a celebration of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus. In Mexico the people prepare for the day of symbolic commemoration; for example, the “Posadas” and in the night have a dinner before the 24 of December the “Noche Buena”.
These “Posadas” are an act of “Los Peregrinos: San José y la Virgen María” in this celebration each family in a neighborhood, will schedule a night for the “Posada” to be in their home where the people prayer and after have dinner the most common food is tamales with hot chocolate, the “Posadas” starting on the 16th of December and finishing on the 24th on “Noche Buena”.
Some people for the children will be a “Piñata”, it is filled with peanuts, oranges, sugar canes, and candies. In “Noche Buena” December 24, everybody goes to “Misa de Noche Buena” is at midnight. After the Mass, everyone goes to their homes to have dinner with family, and most important of all to place the Baby Jesus in the manger in the Nativity.
