Putting a birth (or several) at home is a tradition that Mexicans follow year after year. And although many figures are inherited from our parents or grandparents, it is always good to choose your own. For that mission, we recommend you visit Amozoc, Puebla, home of the most famous clay figurines in Mexico. For 100 years, the people of this small town have dedicated themselves to creating cribs of all styles and sizes.

When the streets and houses begin to fill up with the red color of Christmas Eve, it is officially Christmas time. This emblem of Christmas blooms in November and December, and Tlajomulco, along with Zapopan and Acatlán – destinations in the state of Jalisco -, are the main producers. In Tlajomulco there is one of the largest Christmas Eve ranches, so if you want to decorate your house with this beautiful flower, we recommend you buy it right there and, by the way, observe the kilometers of this beautiful Christmas red color.
