NEW YEAR
Families in Mexico tend to pass New Year’s Eve at their homes—either at their own, or at a nearby friend’s house, where a meal, drinks, and merriment are prepared. The celebrations might later spill-out onto the local street, where a lively, but intimate, gathering with the neighbors might spring up.
