Someone had a few issues with the tamale photo in my last post. I kinda still thing the last picture seem somthing that one would go to if they had never seen or ate a tamale. This year was cool at my parents house. My dad made the tamales. I know my mom cooked the pork and seasonings but my dad filled all the husks. I remember as a kid filling and putting all of the tamales in the pot. Waiting through the night for them to be done. The steam from the post heating up the kitchen and the smell of spicy pork and corn meal in the house. My Uncle would make a pot of coffee and even as a kid he would pour me a cup. Yes it was loaded with cream an sugar and perfect with a tamale. In some way that still is Christmas to me. My kids are sttill very young and I havent set up any traditions yet. ok, 1 so far... we open one present on christmas eve. I want to have a few more as they grow, but so far thats it. I hope you all had a great Baby Jesus Birthday.....
