A piñata is a decorated vessel (usually a clay pot) covered with paper mache and decorated with colorful tissue paper. It is filled with candy and small gifts and then hung from the ceiling to be broken with a stick by blindfolded participants. It is part of traditional Mexican and Latin American festivities like Christmas and birthday parties.
