The people from Honduras celebrate Christmas it is perhaps the biggest celebration of the year for Hondurans. It is filled with religious meaning, as the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ is at heart of it. Christmas is celebrated at the stroke of midnight on the night of the 24th of December (as opposed to the 25th in other countries).
As late as the first quarter of the 20th century, Latin Americans traditionally exchanged gifts on the 6th of January, the date traditionally associated with the Three Magi visiting the newborn Christ and delivering gifts.
Santa Claus is ubiquitous during the season and most Honduran children learn to believe in him from an early age, just like children in many other countries.
