I will be alone in Queretaro this christmas and would like to share the day with anyone else who is there. I am willing to have a christmas get together in my apartment or participate in any other way.

Welcome to the forum. Christmas Eve is the important part of Christmas for Mexican families and there will be church services and lots of activity on the plazas in the evening. Christmas day will be very quiet. In fact, many Mexican families head for the beaches from Christmas to the New Year and many of the cities are much quieter than normal, making it a great time for foreigners to find hotels and uncrowded museums, archeological sites, etc. Perhaps, if you find a few like-minded people, you could take advantage of that to plan a Christmas sight-seeing adventure.

Thank you for the information. I will consider what you have written. I will need to meet more expats in Queretaro or in the area. I am working on my apartment to get it ready for when we retire and will be in Queretaro without my family.

HI Ed Hector

Well I will also be here for Christmas not sure what I will be doing or if I will be alone but maybe we could talk about it. I have lived in this part of Mexico before so I do know people. My first year here I was invited to share Christmas with Mexican friends so you might be lucky like I was.

Welcome, slsadventurer. Perhaps you will be fortunate again and find a celebration to join.
