The English word 'native' shares a common ancestor with Navidad, as both stem from the Latin root meaning 'born'.
In some regions, 'Navidad' is celebrated with more emphasis on the 'Nochebuena' or Christmas Eve than on the day itself, which is when the biggest family feasts occur.
In various Latin American countries, the greeting feliz Navidad may be accompanied by the tradition of the 'Novena de Aguinaldos', where people gather for nine days of prayer and song before Christmas.
