The Hispanic culture is rich in traditions and customs, including the celebration of Christmas. In Hispanic countries, Christmas is celebrated for an entire season, from December 16th to January 6th, known as the "posadas." During this time, families gather together to sing carols, share meals, and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Many homes have nativity scenes, and children traditionally receive gifts on the night of January 5th, known as "Noche Buena." The holiday is a time of joy, love, and reflection for many Hispanics.
