Holiday Report: Fortress 2011
We are back! I know it’s been a while since you’ve received any updates here at No Es Torta, but stay tuned in 2012 for lots of excitement as we chronicle our move to Spain.
But first!
Let’s look in on a Very Hovey Christmas and see what went down in SD this past week…
Everybody was busy doing something. I was outside on Christmas Eve working with a chainsaw well past dark. What on earth could be so important?
Mom was compelling greater and greater numbers of people to eat greater and greater numbers of cookies.
Cyrus was breaking something.
Dad changed his shirt and then spent the usual number of hours trimming every scrap of fat possible from his three roasts.
The ladies sanguinely sipped.
And the dark, cold Nochebueno put us all to sleep while we wait for…
CAGA TIO!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year, and all that to all of you!
Artistically and amusingly done! It made me turn to Wikipedia to get the full poop on Caga Tio. NPR’s Morning Edition had mentioned the log and Barcelona in a story on lesser known Christmas traditions–lesser known at least to Americans. You’ll have to teach us the tunes to some of the songs when we visit.
Best wishes for a happy and exciting new year.
