Las posadas are fiestas that begin on the 16Th of December and end on the 24Th of December. In
Mexico, during this period, there are many posadas every evening,
Both invited and non- invited guests gather at a neighbors house where the Posada is going to take place, in the evening. They are then divided into two groups. One group goes outside the house with lit up candles and papers with the verse:
En el nombre del cielo
Os pido Posada,
Pues no puede andar
Mi esposa amada.
The other group inside then sings back:
Aqui no es meson;
sigan adelante
Yo no puedo abrir
No sea algun trunante.
The song goes on. When they are done they all gather at a house. They eat, drink and end with a pinata for the kids that is filled with candies and fruit. The usual food are : tamales, bunuelos, and ponche.
