When my wife and I first moved back to California, we started a tradition called Posada de los Gringos. Traditionally a Posada (which means an inn) is celebrated in Mexico and symbolizes the travels of Mary and Joseph. The last night is the 24th. of December.
We had just bought a house and my wife and I did not want to cook on Christmas Eve. We went to a church service and then wanted to have dinner out. But on Christmas Eve in the area near Curtis Park in Sacramento there were no restaurants open - except a little place called Caballo Blanco. They were famous for the potato tacos. We began to eat there every Christmas Eve after church. That tradition continues today. Last night we went to a place close to where we now live and had our son and one of our grandsons with us. As you can see he took the tradition very seriously. It is good to have family traditions.
