This is a very celebrated and meaningful day for the typical Mexican family. Children are a very important element in the family, and Dia Del Nino is used to make a child feel special. Mexican families celebrate this day by giving gifts. Boys and girls receive gifts from their aunts, uncles, grandparents, and even neighbors.
Some children also exchange gifts at school, and receive gifts from their teacher.
Many parents, also take their children to parks, so they can play. I remember a very special Dia Del Nino. All my cousins live in Juarez, and they always received a gift on this day. That day all around me were my impatient cousins waiting to receive their gifts. I watched as all my cousins opened up their gifts with so much joy.
