Most families here celebrate a special Cena de Navidad. Many of the better restaurants will be offering special dinners. We usually dine at the restaurant at the Hotel Catalina overlooking the bay and Playa La Ropa. They ALWAYS have an excellent dinner, and few places better represent the flavor of Zihuatanejo that old Zihuatanejo families and long-time visitors love than this place.

Hola.
Xmas is a tradition celebrated mostly in Canada and USA in North America. You can find it in Mexico in places where a lot of foreigners frequent. Coconuts has a a great spread on Xmas. If you are still there on Jan 6 for Three Kings Day, that is the day to celebrate.

Hmmm. Interesting observation. Friends from Mexico here in the San Diego / Tijuana region celebrate Noche Buena with tamales and ponche (con rompope -- una pica!) and staying up until midnight.
