Not sure if this is standard for all latin people but we mainly celebrate on the 24th. We have a big party and if it's extra special or we plan to have a LOT of people we roast a whole pig. If not then just a shoulder or whatever, however there is no Christmas eve without roast pork of some sort.
Typically we exchange gifts at midnight. However my family never makes it to midnight so we do it whenever towards the end of the night before people go home. Then on the 25th it's basically just when kids get their "santa" gifts and that's about it. However we sometimes will have another smaller gathering on the 25th with other people we could not see at the main event on the 24th.
