But in general, Navidad is a huge thing here. The decorations are mainly lights, but in a very overboard way, which I personally love. They look fantastic, and stay on until the Reyes come, which is January 6th.

I can see why you look forward to it and truly enjoy that time of year. I enjoy a "Winter Wonderland" look of Christmas with lots of glowing lights.
We use to celebrate on January 6th with small gifts and a mid-day meal. Then the family would remove the decorations and pack them away for the next year. Now our main celebration is Nochebuena and Christmas Day, but we still get together for a meal and to take down the decorations before the day of the 6th is over. Yum, I can't wait for polvorones.
