There are other festivities called posadas, they start I believe on the 15th of December and the guests sing to be let in to the house signifying the pilgrimage of Mary and Joseph.
One feast per night until the 24th when they attend mass and then have dinner at midnight.
At this time the manger does not have the figures of Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus or the 3 kings.
The manger does not have the figures of Mary or Joseph, they are brought into the house by the peregrinos (pilgrims) who sing to be let in, in times past they would walk around the block singing and would be turned down by all the houses where the posada was not taking place, only the house hosting the posada would open the door.
The baby Jesus is placed in the manger before dinner on the 24th of December and the Reyes Magos do not appear in the manger until the night of the 5th of January.
The 2nd of January (dia de la Candelaria) the bay Jesus is taken to church to be blessed and they put cloths on the baby, the Madrina (godmother) dreses the baby and takes him to church to be blessed, then they have a dinner with tamales and chocolate, that is the day that the manger is put away.
During this festive season in the city of Guanajuato the students of the university sing Christmas songs called Cervantinas, these are worth hearing and enjoying.
