Silent Night, Holy Night

All is well, all is bright. The night of Las Posadas (Spanish word meaning lodging or inn) is a traditional, festive celebration that first introduced to the native people of Mexico by European missionaries, and is the reenactment of the story of Mary and Joseph's search for lodging in Bethlehem. This is a picture of our luminaries on Christmas Eve.
My husband took this picture at about 2 in the morning after we were nestled all warm in our beds and I had wished we had taken a picture of the luminaries.

That is beautiful. Did you learn of this tradition while living in Mexico with your family as a young girl? It's always good to hear from you. Happy New Year!

I made your delicious chocolate sauce last week and thought of you. This recipe was given to me by Jan Olsen. :-)
