December 27 & 28 - Tis the season
Many of the old timers here say this is the busiest Christmas ever. they even have traffic police on the main Avenida in town. Many Mexican families have arrived in the park and area and many more continue to arrive. Apparently, the holiday atmosphere will continue beyond New Year's day through Epiphany or El Dia de los Reyes (day of the kings or wise men) on January 6th, it even extends further to February 2nd, El Dia de la Candelaria, when the nativity scene and holiday decorations are finally packed away. However, most of the holidayers will leave the area after Jan 6. Of course the foreign tourist season will be really kicking in by then.

Looks like party central! Have fun and enjoy the warm. We have an Alberta Clipper coming through but on the high side it looks like most of it is sliding south of us. Amy has a funeral to go to and I have James for the day, so no shop time for me. We did get out for a snowshoe yesterday and it was perfect.
