For many Latinos, Nochebuena, which falls on Christmas Eve, is bigger than Christmas itself. The holiday traditionally includes tamales or lechon, followed by midnight Mass and gift exchanges.
But the most important part of the holiday is time with family.
This year, many Latinos are on edge. Immigration raids have led to thousands of deportations, prompting some Latinos to change their traditions. Some may be celebrating without their mothers or fathers for the first time, while others may tone down plans in hopes of avoiding detection.
