Feliz Navidad
In Mexico they celebrate the birth of Jesus and the coming of
the three kings. Their celebrations begin 12 days before Christmas.
When reenactments of Virgin Mary searching for shelter occur. The
followers grow in numbers until it they all reach a church, where mass is
held.
In some Hispanic areas they celebrate the holidays on Three Kings
Day, which is January 6th. This was traditionally the day that all the
gift-giving took place. But now many areas follow the U.S. and
exchange gifts on December 25th. Many children now look forward to
receiving gifts on both days.
The celebration usually begins in the afternoon or at the dinner
time when a rosca or two is shared among family members. On
Christmas Eve everybody gets together in the zócalo for a night of
dancing. Many times families celebrate with the making and eating of
tamales. Which I think are absolutely delicious.
Les gusta comen los tamales. Les gusta bailan. Les gusta visitan
los relatives.
