Mexican Celebrations
The religious aspect of Christmas is the most important part of the holiday in Mexico. Most households feature a nativity and attend midnight mass ceremonies. Fireworks and bells are used at midnight to announce the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. It is also common for the most devout families to attend an early morning mass known as Miso de Gallo (Mass of the Rooster).California Mall: Christmas Traditions in Mexico -
