But whether you travel around to different homes or stay in one place, there are certain elements of your family’s posadas that you inevitably love more than anything else, and will always try to recreate as you grow older, and especially as you have children so you can teach them your family’s traditions.įor me, the most beloved posadas tradition is making ponche Navideño. Sometimes people celebrate posadas by going from home to home, singing the traditional song to ask for lodging the way Mary and Joseph did. It’s customary for families to gather together, eat, sing and have a piñata at the party.
December 16th begins Las Posadas, the nine days of celebration leading up to Christmas Eve, also known as Nochebuena.
