Holidays in Mexico

Holidays in Mexico are always lively and colourful events that try to draw in as many participants as possible. While Mexicans do tend to celebrate similar holidays as their Western counterparts, the local traditions and culture have transformed these holiday observances into brightly colored fiestas much more unique and exotic.

Some of the major non-working public Holidays in Mexico include Christmas. Most Mexicans tend to celebrate Christmas on the eve of December 24, and open their gifts at midnight after a day spent dining out with their respective families. A quaint Mexican tradition is the Posadas (shelter), which take place from December 16 to 24. Every night during this time, a procession to one of the houses in the neighborhood (with a different house each night) takes place, where a re-enactment of Joseph and Mary seeking a place to stay is done, after which the participants are invited inside the home for food and prayer. A similarly-themed holiday, the Day of the Holy Kings, which celebrates the Three Wise Men who visited the child Jesus as a child, is celebrated on January 6.

There is a very good online service that I would like to recommend to all who are looking to spend a nice vacation in Mexico, this service is called LateDeals.co.uk, They are really good in what they do to help you out, so what do you think to take a look at them now, I am sure you would be happy dealing with such a great service.
