To begin with, some of the guests go outside to represent Mary and Joseph, and sing a song asking for a room for the night (this is “pedir posada”). The guests inside sing the response, inviting them in, and the party begins. Along with traditional Christmas fare such as “tamales” (steamed corn dumplings), and drinks such as “ponche” (Christmas punch), there will be a “piñata” for the children. This is a cardboard or papier-mâché container which is suspended over people's heads, and which the children each in turn try to break with a stick while blindfolded. When the “piñata” breaks, its contents are scattered on the floor and there is a rush to gather up the candies.* * *f1 C.Am., MéxChristmas party2 ( fonda) inn* * *posada nf1) : inn* * *posada n inn -
