Las Posadas is Spanish for lodging, or accommodation, which in this case refers to the inn in the story of the nativity of Jesus. It uses the plural form as the celebration lasts for a nine-day interval (called the novena) during the Christmas season.

The novena represents the nine-month pregnancy of Mary, the mother of Jesus celebrated by Christian traditions. Many Mexican and South American holidays include dramatizations of original events, a tradition which has its roots in the ritual of Bible plays used to teach religious doctrine to a large population. After the dramatization, families gather for hot chocolate, sweet bread and fellowship.
At the end, children receive goodie bags known as “Aguinaldos”.
