On December 24th, President Sheinbaum tweeted out a twitter X greeting<\/a> which read “Merry Christmas to all Mexicans. I wish the best for you, remember that the most important thing is love.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also released a short video of a Christmas greeting. It shows President Sheinbaum and her husband walking in the Palacio Nacional<\/em> amidsts poinsettas (a Mexican plant associated with Christmas). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They arrive to a Christmas tree where she delivers a brief message. (Video here<\/a> and here<\/a>). Even her husband gets to speak a little!

She sends out a blessing to “all the Mexicans in our territory… but also to the Mexicans outside of our territory in this moment, particularly all the Mexicans who are in the United States..<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, in the Zocalo<\/a>, the historic plaza right outside the Palacio, the Verbena Navide\u00f1a<\/em><\/a>, a Christmas fair, began on December 17th and is set to continue until December 30th. Here is a photo of the opening night, with the Cathedral in the background:
