Mexican Christmas Traditions

In Mexico, during the nine days before Christmas, people participate in a tradition called "posada." They visit their neighbors' houses in the evenings, carrying candles. They sing carols and knock on the door, symbolizing Mary and Joseph's search for a place to stay in Bethlehem. At first, they are not allowed in, which is part of the custom. However, they eventually explain who they are and are warmly welcomed into the house [[1]].

St. Nicholas in Europe

In many European countries, children receive presents from St. Nicholas on December 6th. In the Netherlands, St. Nicholas arrives in Amsterdam by boat with his servant Black Peter. Black Peter carries a sack to take away naughty children. St. Nicholas brings presents for good children [[2]].

Three Kings in Spain and South America

In many ports of Spain and South America, it is not Father Christmas or St. Nicholas who brings the presents, but the Three Kings or Three Wise Men. They deliver the gifts on the night of January 5th, and children wake up to find presents on the morning of January 6th. In Madrid, there is a parade in the streets with the Three Kings riding their camels, commemorating their visit to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. They bring gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, just as described in the Bible [[3]].

Conclusion

Different countries and cultures have their own unique Christmas traditions. In Mexico, the posada tradition involves visiting neighbors' houses and singing carols. In the Netherlands, St. Nicholas arrives by boat with Black Peter and brings presents for good children. In Spain and South America, the Three Kings bring gifts on the night of January 5th. These traditions add to the joy and excitement of the Christmas season in different parts of the world [[1]] [[2]] [[3]].
