Hello - My hubby and I will be spending 11 days in Ixtapa over Christmas at a rental property. We are not overly familiar with the holidays in Ixtapa. Will most things shut down or will there be any restaurants open or activities to get involved in?

Christmas in Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa is when everything is in FULL TILT BOOGIE mode and when we who live and work here are usually at our busiest.

Plenty of restaurants will be open, and if you are here for Las Posadas then you will be in for a treat. Fiestas called Las Posadas precede Christmas from the 16th to the 24th of December, and many neighborhoods, hotels and restaurants will have their own special Posada.

Here's their Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/colonia.la.madera
The neighborhood also has a web page: http://www.colonialamadera.org, but it has not been kept up to date since the FB page was started.

Don't expect the traditional Christmas that you are used to at home- things are very different there. I find that the celebrations are more spiritual and very much family oriented. Christmas eve seems to be the most important event of the season and again the locals seem to spend it at church and then with their extended families. We have been lucky enough to be included in a couple of these family celebrations and remember them among our favourite Christmas memories - people really enjoying spending time with family. We haven't had a problem with places being closed but it is very busy so you might have to wait a bit to get into your favourite restaurant. Embrace the differences and enjoy your Christmas in Mexico.
