Everyone's right. Posada can mean:
  • posada (un lugar para hospedarse) = inn
  • posada (una celebración navideña) = Christmas party (roughly, it's really a Catholic celebration)
  • posada (pedir posada) = lodging

Yes, a posada at least on my country is partier than a holiday, because the Mexican's people celebrate more the party than a religion holiday, then as Poli said before there are alots kinds of parties or celebrations on my country but the people does not celebrate the holiday as you have read in other website.
