Merry Christmas to all!

We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner with Donna. So nice to be together. Love this holiday tradition from Mexico.

"From her shop in eastern Mexico City, Tania Hernandez begins making piñatas for the holiday season as early as October. That's because piñatas are essential to celebrating Christmas in Mexico. Specifically, traditional ones in the form of a seven-point star. The reason why goes back years, and continents. The Posadas tradition Hernandez says her favorite piñata to make is that traditional one. These colorful figures are a key element in Posadas – which translates to inns – an annual tradition that runs from December 16 to 24 and is fueled by music, food, and a piñata for the children. During Posadas, family, friends and neighbors drop in on each other at night, asking for shelter in representation of Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem ahead of Jesus' birth."
