In Honduras, as in many Latin American countries, Christmas Eve (la nochebuena) is celebrated more than Christmas Day. Families go to church, show off their new outfits, and eat a big meal together. Santa is not a big deal and may not visit many homes. However, the children WILL receive gifts on January 6th - El día de los reyes magos.

In English, 'estreno' means premiere or debut. In Honduras, all children receive new clothes for Christmas Eve which they debut for their families. Thanks to for allowing her children to be the models for this post!

Sure, you've heard of tamales, but what about nacatamales? This dish originated in Nicaragua but is commonly prepared in Honduras for Christmas. It contains a lot more ingredients than a Mexican tamal, including things like raisins and olives. Another big difference - they're wrapped in banana leaves instead of corn husks!

Let's learn about Christmas traditions in Honduras!

Las posadas begin tonight and last for nine days. Groups led by people dressed as Mary and Joseph travel door-to-door singing traditional songs. The "pilgrims" sing a song asking for lodging, and the "innkeepers" (residents) respond back refusing entry. Eventually the group is granted entry to a home where participants pray, sing carols, and share food, drinks, and sweets, often ending with a piñata.
