Noche Buena Hispanic American Christmas Stories Noche Buena brings us all the magic of the Christmas season as seen through the eyes of the Hispanic Americans who celebrate it. Christmas is at times a universal story, and many of the images here are recognizable across cultures: we hear and see joyful singing; the adoration of the Infant Jesus; and the peaceful strains of Adeste Fidelis.

And in the 'Legend of the Poinsettia', a poor child, embarrassed by the modesty of his gift for the Christ Child, sheds tears on the dull green leaves of the familiar plant, thereby miracuLousLy transforming them to a brilliant red.
