It's Christ-mas Eve - and the whole city is out partying celebrating this very misunderstood holiday. You know in the West it's a time for family to gather, whether you celebrate Chrismas or not. I think we are all just so happy to have work off you know? but here it's really about consuming and partying. That's why I write Christ-mas - to remind us that it's really about Baby Christ's miraculous birth - or it's "mas" tiempo with the family - depending on which way you swing - I go with the latter considering that I am not really a Christian.
