So, what does Christmas smell like in San Juan del Rio, Mexico? Pine Christmas trees?? Nope. Chestnuts and an open fire? Nope. But here's a hint - it involves fire!
Fireworks! Of COURSE! We as a family mix our three cultures: American, Mexican and Guatemalan, into one fabulous Christmas celebration! And the Guatemalan Christmas always involves fireworks. There it's at midnight, but we did it early - around 7:30 this evening. We can't get too many REALLY dangerous fireworks, as they've been outlawed, but did find some "cebollitas" (little onions that sparkle - they look like little onions), some other interesting stuff and of course the extra long sparklers. What fun! Join us!!
My sparkler and Dayton's mix to make a great big sparkle!
Alan's sparkler SHRUNK!
