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.

What is the purpose of the Posadas
It depends on individual families or groups of people. Some celebrate parties (fiestas) rarely, due to economic reasons. Other families throw parties all the time, celebrating birthdays, quinceañera (sweet 15) or Mexican holidays like Posadas or Christmas.
