Christmas in Mexico spans from December 16th to January 6th and blends indigenous and Spanish traditions. Traditions include Las Posadas, a reenactment of Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem over nine nights. La Piñata involves breaking a piñata to receive candy. Pastorelas are light parodies of the shepherds visiting baby Jesus. Nativity scenes, poinsettias, and a Christmas eve supper with tamales and atole are also celebrated, as well as New Years with a midnight toast of 12 grapes for good luck. Three Kings Day on January 6th honors the biblical Magi with children receiving gifts and eating Roscas de Reyes.
