Best Answer

Las Posadas celebrate Joseph and Mary's search for shelter in Bethlehem with candlelight processions that end at various nativity scenes. Posada is Spanish for "lodging", or "accommodation"; it is said in plural because it is celebrated more than one day in that period: beginning December 16th and ending December 24th, on evenings (about 8 or 10 PM).

After the procession it is usual to have dinner that includes tamales, Hot Chocolate and Christmas fruit punch. The most popular game among kids is to break the piñata. More modern families celebrate the posadas as a regular party, including dancing and displaying fireworks.
