Lesson Introduction

Even though Christmas is behind us, the Christmas season is still if full swing, especially for our Latino friends! We'll hear Lili tell John and JP all about las Posadas, la Nochebuena, la Misa de gallo, el Día de los Inocentes, los pastorelas, la rosca, el Día de la Candelaria... Also, Lili promised us all tamales... hope you're hungry!

So did everyone have a good Christmas? Leo was just cursing himself for forgetting to prank us all on Día de los Inocentes. Me? I went to Christmas dinner at some Spanish friends' house; we had croquetas de jamón, de pollo, y de queso; canelones, flan... ¡todo riquísimo!

It would appear that everyone is too busy eating still to comment...

That was a great show this week ! Bravo ! In France, we almost have the same traditions as Latinos but it's mixed with american and east-european traditions. We have Santa Claus (aka Père Noël) dressed in red, Saint Nicolas dressed in green and the three kings (aka Rois mages). Ps: Liliana the crib is called "crèche" not ...

I had a wonderful Christmas with my family, this year. Santa Claus gave us our gifts. We had a nice dinner. Lot of food, lot of wine and lot of fun. I came back home at 4:30 in the night. Before Christmas I was in Mexico and for the first time I was there for the day of La Guadalupe. It impressed me a lot. You should talk about that on your show.

Menú de Nochebuena: - Entremeses: Jamón serrano, croquetas de jamón, langostinos, mejillones rellenos, foie, pudding de pescado. - Rape con almejas y gambas. - Postre: turrones, tarta de queso casera. How does it sound?

Toda la habla de la comida me ha tenido que hambre.  Tengo suerte, mi amiga hace tamales para vender.  Compré alguien pronto ;) Creo que es maravilloso que puedo aprender sobre tan culturas y sus tradiciones, aquí en una lugar.  ¡Me gustan todos estos razónes para comer, jajaja! 

Christmas dinner was easy because we left for Vegas the following day.  We had ham, rice, apple pie and a few other things - no big deal.  I didn't want a huge clean-up job.  We did our share of good eating in Vegas ;)

My boyfriend and I had Christmas dinner in Hangzhou, outside Shanghai. The hotel had two restaurants, one had a Christmas buffet, that cost over $100 per person!!! And the restaurant was totally packed!  (Didn't think you could possibly find such an expensive dinner in China!)  The other restaurant had regular Chinese food.  We opted for the latter!
