Well, we're only a few days away from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. In our family, we like to celebrate both days. But the majority of the festivities (fiesta) takes place on Christmas Eve. It's so much fun for us! Latinos like to live and celebrate with passion. There's nothing boring about our get-together's. We have our traditional food and drink, like coqui (Spanish drink spiced up with rum)for the adults as well as pasteles (a Spanish meat pie that takes hours to prepare!) and arroz con gandules (yellow rice and black eyed peas--the food not the band). As we get older, we are much more appreciative of the time we have together. This is definitely one of my favorite holidays because we are happy and we know it!
I hope your holidays are joyous and that you are surrounded by many precious moments of joy and unconditional love.
Feliz Navidad!

Hi Marie, great fun to check in here from time to time and catch up. Always an inspiration and light-hearted laugh to be found. Now I understand all this female talk about soul mates and so-so partnerships, but you really know how it is.. girls chasing the dragon.
ReplyDeleteis there any way you could post some new pictures? thanks and feliz navidad. Pedro
Yes, and sometimes when we catch the dragon, we decide we don't want them anymore. lol. Glad I can provide some comic relief and inspiration at the same time. Working on uploading some new pix. Happy 2010!
