| Our Joseph and Mary |
For years, I have watched children go to door to door reenacting the scene of Mary and Joseph looking for shelter and being turned away.
Last night my daughter and I were included in an authentic posada with ponche (a hot drink made with dried fruit and sugar cane - and this one had a hefty dose of brandy.) We sang the songs, while the chosen couple played the part of Mary and Joseph. We held the candles, threw the lit sparkles ( to bring lots of light into the next year) and took turns at attempting to smash the piñta ( the devil)
A dinner followed and of course tequila and Mescal, not to be mixed. One or the other.
