One of the nice things about Oaxaca is that Christmas is nowhere near as commercial as it is in El Norte. Maybe it's because the place is more religious or less inclined to spend hard-earned money on such things or maybe it's because gifts are given on Three Kings Day (Jan 6) and mostly for children, but whatever it is, it is nice. That piñata is huuuge. And this shot makes me think of one of my favorite carols, "Angels we have heard while high.""
And well, it can get kinda tacky....
That doesn't mean we are not getting psyched for posadas, and rabanos and Noche Buena in the zocalo.
