Swtanimechick sent me this card. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!! =D
Yay!!!


Well let's see...

These past few days have been nothing but Christmas shopping with my mom =D. The stores were all crowded with people. The good thing was that we went to the big mall in town on the bus because finding a parking space was impossible. When we got there, all the possible parking spaces were taken up and many cars were just circulating around, trying to find an empty space. Haha, not us! We didn't have to worry about that. Lol!

I've been to some Posadas, which is a Mexican tradition during the Christmas season. My mom was telling me of her Christmases in Mexico when she was growing up. She said that on Dec. 25th they would just gather up as a family and celebrate with food and music. It was, after all, the celebration of Jesus' birth. So Christmas in Mexico wasn't all about the gifts. The actual date when they would exchange gifts was on January 6th, the day of the Three Wise Men or Los Reyes Santos (in Spanish). Since January 6th is the date that they celebrate the arrival of the three Wise Men who came to Jesus to offer him gifts, the people in most parts in Latin America exchange gifts on that day just like we do on Christmas. It is only recently that Mexico has changed its tradition to exchange gifts on the 25th of December instead of the 6th of January, but some parts are still strong with the tradition. I haven't gone to Mexico, but that's what I've been told about their Christmas celebrations.

So that was a little cultural insight...haha.

FMA won't be on today, nor all the regular Saturday Adult Swim lineup. There will be just a Inuyasha movie and other Christmas specials.

I don't have much to say....


LATER!!!!
