Posadas
Posadas is a nine-day holiday beginning December 16 and ending December 24.
It represents the difficulties that Saint Joseph and the Blessed Virgin faced in finding room when travelling to Bethlehem. In it, groups of children go from house to house singing a traditional song requesting lodging (posada). In each house, the owner responds with refusal (also in song), until they reach the designated site for the party, where the owner recognizes Mary and Joseph and allows them to come in.
It is especially celebrated in Mexico.

Its population is approximately 296,500 (as of 2003).
