From what I've heard one tradition which used to be very popular was the last child no marriage tradition. The last born child was to take care of the mother until the day that the mother died. The child was therefore forbidden any sort of marriage and love.
Those kind of traditions date back to the 1930s (see the Mexican movie Como Agua Para Chocolate), and unless you are talking about the most backward village in the middle of nowhere, they are no longer true. Modern traditions can be englobed in "the family above everything else", where the extended family is the most important "institution" for Mexicans. For instance in many places, not only the nuclear family (mom, dad and children) live under the same roof; also the grandparents, unmarried brothers and sisters, etc. live altogether. That is a cultural shock many Americans have to face when Mexican neighbors move in: they are usually an extended family of many adults, children and elder people living together, "making noise" and "partying all the time".
Mexico is a very complex country, full of local, regional and national traditions, such as in the United States or any western country for that matter. Mexico is considered to be 'the land of the three cultures' because it is a mix of three of them:

Much like American Christmas, Mexican families have many Christmas traditions. Some traditions include reenactments of Mary and Joseph trying to find shelter in Bethlehem, Christmas carols, holiday foods, and many more.
There are several of them, such as Christmas, Independence Day, The Posadas or Day of the Dead. The most widely celebrated throughout the country is Independence Day (September 16).
