Mexico celebrates Christmas in a variety of ways, with each region having its own unique traditions and customs. However, there are some common themes that are shared throughout the country. For example, people often gather together to enjoy a hearty meal of pozole and tamales, and children may leave their shoes out for "el nino de la suerte" (the child of good fortune) to fill with presents. Additionally, many families set up nativity scenes in their homes and attend midnight mass on Christmas Eve.
