Le Holidays Ho Ho Ho

This the holiday season one of the busiest holidays especially for women.  Those holiday dinners are sure elaborate and really time consuming.  I really have never really liked Christmas.  Well I like certain elements of Christmas but not every part of it.  The holidays that I love the most are Halloween and St. Patrick's Day (and its for the wearing green not entirely because of the alcohol :p)

Right now I a working on a Christmas card to send out to my family and friends.  It took me a while for me to come up with the idea now its making the time for it to actually finish it on time to be able to send them out.  Oh yes I had forgotten I need color ink to be able to print them.  I have an idea if I don't get to buy color ink but then I need to buy a different kind of paper.  Oh dear i really do hope I get to finish on time because I want to send one to a friend who lives over seas in South Korea to be more exact. 
I am Hispanic so along with being Hispanic comes the traditional Christmas food we create.  I have to make some tamales of different kinds and from two different countries since I come from parents of two different countries Guatemala and Mexico.  When we make tamales we make quite a few tamales we use about 15lbs of masa and it makes roughly about 300 tamales.  Along with making the tamales you either make champurrado or fruit punch.  In my family we make fruit punch which is much more complicated than champurrado.   When Hispanics make fruit punch it is not the type you buy from the store it is a punch that include may ingredients and of top of that they are hard to find.  The Hispanic fruit punch contains actual pieces of fruit in it and it is a warm drink which you can add alcohol if you wish. 
Well this year will be the first year I make all this by myself well i think my bro is going to help me a bit.  Every year since I was child I had helped my mom make these things but not this year.  My mom's health is poor and since its tradition it is my turn to make em.  I really hope it all turns out well. No....Indeed everything will turn out well :D
I still need to decorate for Christmas too we just bought the tree and one of these days I will do it I just have been too busy to do it but for sure this weekend I will.
I guess I do like Christmas more than I think despite all the work. 

Christmas isn't Christmas without some Elvis in it.  This is Silent Night sung by Elvis Presley but really you need a little Elvis every day of the week :)
