I got Tamales from Texas Tamales last year. My mom refused to eat them and
Angela was less than thrilled to try. She hated them as did my husband. I
loved mine but hated the chili that came with. I had to mail order them but
I can buy them locally now so I have some in the freezer. I just keep
forgetting to eat them.

Our family often goes out on Christmas Eve. Last year we took my mom out
for Mexican for lunch and Chinese for dinner but more and more places are
opting to close then.

If we do stay home I will likely make a cake only because I bought a mix for
Angela's science project but then she wound up making the white blood cell
from a butterhorn instead.

No clue what I'll make other than that. Husband is technically not supposed
to have meat then.
