In Mexico Christmas is called Navidad. Mexico doesn't have a Santa Claus. In Mexico, they make their list to el Nino Dios for Christmas Eve.

They eat corn gruel, Bicayan cod, wild greens, imoles sauce, roast turkey, ham, suckling pig and a hot fruit punch. They eat supper on Christmas Eve.

They use a Nativity scene for decorations. Today a decorated Christmas tree may be used, usually an artificial one.

The main celebration in Mexico is called las posadas. They begin nine days before Christmas. They have processions reenacting Joseph and Mary's search for a place to stay in Bethlehem.
