Christmas in Mexico
The idea of celebrating your favorite winter holiday in another hemisphere captivates with its exoticism and originality, so Christmas in Mexico will surely go off with a bang! There is something to see and do if it becomes unbearable to celebrate: a pacifying resort maniana can be safely alternated with exploring ancient cities, visiting prehistoric ruins and trying to catch a wave in the Pacific Ocean. Holidays in Mexico in winter, it is so varied and very exotic.
"Felice Navidad!" everyone and everyone
A series of winter holidays in Mexico begins with Christmas. Already on December 16, colorful processions are organized in cities and villages, symbolizing the Holy Family in search of an overnight stay. And the main action is the church mass in the evening on the eve of the holiday. It is called the "cockerel" because, according to legend, it was the cock who was the first to witness the birth of the Savior. Then everyone wishes each other "Feliz Navidad!" - Merry Christmas - and go to the table.
The gala dinner includes both native Mexican dishes and turkey, traditional in other countries. Sweets and Christmas aniseed cookies appear in great abundance on the tables. Children are especially waiting for Christmas in Mexico: if they manage to break a pinata - an earthen vessel with sweets suspended from the ceiling, not only the coming evening, but the whole year will be sweet.
It is not easy with trees and pines in hot latitudes, and therefore the holiday houses are decorated with arbolito - an artificial tree that serves as a symbol of Christmas in Mexico. All the main squares of Mexican cities are filled with crowds of people who want to take part in competitions and fairs, try apple punch and tequila, dance and sing to the guitar..
The land of the ancient gods
There are two main attractions, without which Mexico would not be itself, in the country. And these are not tequila and cacti, as gourmets and botanists might quickly think, but beaches and ancient pyramids, as written sources and reviews of admiring tourists testify. A trip to the pyramids in Teotihuacan will be a strong and vivid experience that will last much longer than a Mexican tan.
Mexican resorts are distinguished by special comfort, high level of service, excellent technical equipment of hotels, clean beaches and delicious food. Therefore, you will have to choose a place only for reasons of personal preference..
For example, Riviera Maya is adored by young people. Life is in full swing here around the clock, palm trees sparkle with New Year's lights, hotels operate on an "all inclusive" system, and prices are very affordable..
In a word, it is worth arranging Christmas in Mexico at least so that, emerging from the turquoise of melted Caribbean marmalade, drink icy champagne and make a toast to luck and love, without which travel and life itself seem insipid and boring.
