'Twas Nochebuena and all through our casa, every creature was kneading tamale masa...

It's Christmas Eve, and you're invited to a Nochebuena celebration! 

Follow a family as they prepare to host a night filled with laughter, love, and Latino tradition.

Make tasty tamales and hang colorful adornos (decorations) on the walls. Gather to sing festive canciones (songs) while sipping champurrado (hot chocolate).

After the midnight feast has been served and the last gifts have been unwrapped, it's time to cheer, "Feliz Navidad and to all a good night!"

Savor the magic of Nochebuena with a holiday tale you'll want to read again and again.

This is quite a holiday treat, especially for all my fellow Latinos who, like me, never opened presents on Christmas morning because the huge celebration was actually Christmas Eve!
