While many children around the world will wake up with excitement on Christmas morning as they run to the family Christmas tree to see what Santa has brought them, children in Mexico will need to wait a couple of more weeks. Or that is how it has traditionally been.

I say let Mexicans decide what they want to celebrate and when. It’s not for foreigners to dictate it either way. I know plenty of Mexican kids who would be heartbroken if Santa were “banned” on December 25th. I think Mexico can handle both traditions and figure out how best to integrate them into their culture.
I knew that Jan 6 was Russia’s day to celebrate, but did not know about it here. Every year at the Posada in my neighborhood, the children and their mothers do a traditional “skit” about Joseph and Mary looking for a room at the inn. It’s very touching. As far as no santa…the families that I know here have had santa for years. Who are we to take that away from them? The baby Jesus is added to the nativity scene on Dec 24. It’s really all very beautiful and I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
I guess it depends which imaginary story you want to celebrate…
Let us enjoy both
Lat’s not buy into that buying crap..
