So they have something to unwrap!

But on a serious note.... Mexican recipes!

Pico de yum

3 small diced jalapenos
4 diced tomatos (fresh)
1 diced red onion
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2c chopped cilantro!

Hey, that's the only reason I still like Christmas. I can never have enough of them. Old school lady homemade tamales are quite delicious if you ask me.

This is also typical for christmas:

Also eating turkey is commonplace in the north.

I think somebody should open a "what's the traditional xmas food where you live" thread, it could be interesting.
