The other day we were invited to another Posada. This one was a huge annual neighborhood party. The street was blocked off with chairs lining both sides of the street. As guests arrived, many were costumed and given a role in a play. Some kids were angels, some were stars, there were wise men and kings, a Roman messenger, a few lambs and of course, Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus complete with a pacifier in his mouth. There were no rehearsals, just the main event! Cecil B. DeMille would have been proud!
Even a street dog was given a costume. The tee shirt said "I am a lamb".
The pinata after the play was a free for all. Not for the timid!
Just a small portion of the whole cast.

As you can see, our Christmas this year had a little different flavor than a Colorado white Christmas. We certainly did miss our family and friends at home but the spirit here is a wonderful thing! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

What a neat Posada! It is so cool to hear what happens in Cozumel for Christmas. We missed you though! :)
How fun! I would love to see that in person.
