Tamales for Breakfast

The fireworks explosions lasted until after 3am last night. Somehow i find lying in the dark in a strange country, listening to the whine and report of rockets and the ¨BOOM¨ of homemade explosives a tad unsettling. Tonight will probably be more of the same, despite the fact that some of these folks have to go to work tomorrow.

Our Christmas celebration was really good - chock full of all the cheesy stuff holidays are supposed to be about - family friends and good food. i was even able to make the acquaintance of several people that i had previously only known from photographs.

As part of my own celebration, i took my dear sweet time getting out of bed. Then i had real, honest to goodness, homemade by my Mexican mother-in-law tamales for breakfast. Seriously, you are SO jealous.
