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.

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.
