Anyway, people here doesnt amke gifts on 24th December (Santa Claus), but on 5th January (called here "The Magic Kings", in spanish "Los Reyes Magos"), so busiest days are probably from 2nd to 4th of January, though there isnt a specific day that could be called the BUSIEST of the year.

Yeah, living in Mexico for two years, I am aware of these above mentioned differences. Yet, Mexico celebrates both Navidad and Los Reyes Magos. It was alot of fun to learn of the different cultural beliefs and experience it first-hand.
