December 24 is the main day of celebration in Mexico. Before that, Mexicans have posadas, which are basically house or street parties. Over the past few weeks I've seen streets blocked off with huge speakers in the middle, and houses with green lasers and blasting with music. The neighbours never complain and the parties go on until the wee hours of the morn.
We had a dinner on the 24th, and the kids opened their gifts after dinner.
Not much happens on the 25th, but lots of businesses are closed.
By chance we learned about these traditions from your brother's Mexican friend on Christmas Eve and I wondered if you stayed up all night.
