Well Santa is not here yet. And I wanted to throw out some Christmas traditions that we do in my family. When I was a Child my mother and the family would make Tamales - Pork in red sauce , made by the hundreds to give to friends and to trade with others. There was a family that would make sweet ones, delicious. They had nuts and rasins in them. We would trade a dozen or so w/ them. In Guatamala the wrap theirs w/ Bananna leaves also very tasty.
We were allowed to open one gift on Christmas eve and would wait for the rest. When I was in Mexico the Three kings would visit on Jan 7 th I think -- I was youg when they did this. SO I don't really remember it too clearly. In the northern parts of Mexico (where my Family is From) Its Santo Claus.
I spoke w/ Dana and she told me that Santa also does Visit her as well in Germany. Then I was told of the Krumpas that travels w/ Santa. A horned, furry chained demon that travels w/ santa to beat bad kids w/ reeds if they miss behave . I thought that beats the hell out of a lump of coal. Krampus . They Featured the Krampus in The cartoon the Venture bros. I laughed my ass off. - Well Good night. I have to get back to putting together toys and eating Santas cookies..... Beware the Krampus and be good. Unless you want a beating with reeds?
