Oh wow. I've heard the word but I don't know about this. What country or culture does this take place in?

Spanish. People do the posada, which means the walking about to homes for gifts related to X-mas. Sort of like all Hallows Ever , but for Natividad.

Yeah I knew it was Spanish.

I was in Puerto Rico one advent and Christmas. I don't remember a Posada but I remember how big a deal Three Kings day was.
