The next Christmas celebrations are Las Posadas, which take place on each of the nine nights preceding Christmas. This is when many Mexicans reenact the Holy Family's search for an inn with candlelit processions through the streets. In many neighborhoods it's customary for homes to take turns refusing lodging to wandering families, with one home acting as the final inn of the Holy Family's journey. Some businesses and community organizations also host celebrations. The Posadas take the place of the northern tradition of a Christmas Party.
