Hey Rhonda,
For our tradition, we still make tamales for Christmas Eve. My
daughter, my sister and neice and sometimes other friends come over and
we have a tamale making party. We have some margaritas and make LOTS
of tamales. Family and friends come over on Christmas Eve (about 25 -
30) We eat, drink and sing Christmas songs. My sister about 15 years
ago made song books with every Christmas song you can think of. We all
sing together, someone will sing a solo, guys vs girls. The guys
usually win. We exchange gifts and do a gag gift, we have so much fun.
We have Buñuelos and Champurrado.
Everyone makes a wish list at Thanksgiving we then draw names for
Christmas.
