I have a book about Los Posadas (the Inn-as in the search for a place to have baby Jesus) but I forgot where I got it. It tells about the Christmas traditions in both English and Spanish. I'll try to look and see where I found it. Basically, it talks about the 10 days preceeding Christmas and the children (representing Mary and Joseph) that travel the streets in the villages asking for a place to stay, just as Joseph and Mary, and they are turned away until the last night, where everyone joins in for celebration. I know they do this in Mexico too. It's a great thing to experience.
