Christmas in Tequis, 2023
Christmas 2023 in Our Mexican Casa
Christmas begins with the decorating.
Christmas in Centro, Tequis 2023
Tequis is back to normal for the Fiesta de Navidad
Parades and Posadas
Santa had 2 parades in Tequis this year and attended a posada in Barrio Santa Fe.
A Santa Run to the Campos
This is a rare opportunity to see what a “Santa Run” looks like. The family wanted to film and we shared videos. This family lived on a farm and ranch where the parents worked. The children had never seen Santa up close and only the father knew we were coming.
Santa Returns to the Campos
We returned to the same ranch for the neighbors child, who had seen Santa arrive for the other kids the night before. No one knew we were returning. The little girl was overwhelmed!
Dinner on Christmas Eve
Our mexican family joined us at our house this year for our Christmas Eve celebration. We had a unique menu of cajun and northern Mexican foods, and had a gift exchange, the Catholic midnight tradition of placing the baby jesus in the manger, and the normal party until 3 am.
Opening Presents on Christmas Morning
Christmas morning with our kids opening their packages and stockings. Just like kids, including the fighting over a toy. We finally had to buy another because there was going to be no sharing.
