Chrissy: Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas all!

I hope you've had a good one.

I wanted to share with you one Christmas tradition my family has had for a while.

Each year, two days before Christmas, my family always makes

Tamales.

Then, on Christmas Eve we deliver them to the families who asked for them.

On Christmas day we eat some ourselves for dinner.

The reason we do Tamales is because of what they can symbolize.

For my family we like to think of them as gifts.

Because you have to unwrap the corn husk before you can eat it.

This year I believe we made over 6 dozen tamales!

Lots of work.

But definitely worth it!

p.s. This is my new hair cut! Bangs (across the cut bangs, as I like to call them), layers, a trim, and some badly needed thinning out.
