abuelojack, acabo de leer un artículo sobre este tema de las muxes y es interesante que ellas hayan sido parte de la cultura  hace 2000 años.

Hola todos

Here is a Hanukkah song in Ladino (also called Judado Spanish) called Ocho Kandelikas – eight little candles.  Ladino is the language of Sephardic Jews and is based on 15th century Spanish.  Unlike most Jews in the US who came from eastern Sephardic Jews most live around the Mediterranean, and their ancestors fled Spain during the Inquisition.  I bet a lot of you will be able to pick out at list a few words and phrases.

De nada.  Si quieres oír una persona hablando en Ladino, se parece mucho a español, usa el enlace abajo.

En Canada francés tenemos veladas con familia y amigos, pero ya que la major parte de gente trabajan, las veladas son sostenidas durante el fin de semana, Nochebuena, Día de la Navidad, Día de San Esteban (Boxing Day, le lendemain de Noël), Nochevieja or Año Nuevo. Por el general recibo a mis niños (mi hija y mi hijo) y mis tres nietos para la cena de Nochebuena, y mi hija nos recibe para la cena de Nochevieja.

(I have never been to a posada nor have I ever been to a party with a piñata. In French Canada we have parties with family and friends but since most people work, the parties are held during the week-end, Christmas eve, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year. I usually receive my children (my daughter and my son) and my 3 grandchildren Christmas eve for supper and my daughter receives us New Year's eve for supper.

Does it mean 'ask to stay overnight' or 'go around asking for treats'?  Or both?

]]> <![CDATA[By: ]]> anstruther, you are correct :)

'pedir posada' means to ask for lodging.  Also, during the Mexican tradition of Posadas, where people dress as Joseph and Mary asking people if there is 'room in the inn' so to speak, this custom is called 'pedir posada.'  But I'm pretty sure the Mexican Marys and Josephs that go door to door asking if there is room in the in actually get treats, rathre than lodging ;)
