Meet The Mexican Christmas Posadas! 🎊🎇/ ¡Conoce Las Posadas Navideñas Mexicanas! 🎊🎇 [ESP/ENG] by @fclore22

Mexican Christmas Posadas usually happen during the last week of December. Many Americans who travel to Mexico don’t realize that Christmas celebrations begin during this week and end during the Christmas holidays. The idea of Mexican Posadas is to create a celebration between people of the same family in a community. Posadas usually happens on Christmas Eve in different neighborhoods and towns of Mexico. Posada is a special meal and it involves the family coming together. This is often with the help of friends and neighbors to create the meal. Often, it’s the food that provides a lot of the traditions in Posadas.

The Tradition Of Growing Rice Meu Uroe by @yayan

In terms of growing rice in my place in Aceh, especially in Pidie Regency, there is a tradition commonly known as Meu Uroe. Meu Uroe is planting rice in mutual cooperation or helping each other without being paid wages. The Meu Uroe method of planting rice is only carried out by some women, for example 7 or more people form a small group. The Meu Uroe tradition of course has conditions, namely, for example, woman A has done Meu Uroe in woman B's rice field, then woman B is obliged to participate in planting in woman A's rice field, as well as other women who are members of the Meu Uroe group.
