Oaxaca is gearing up for Christmas. Thankfully, it is not (yet) as hectic and commercial as in el norte. Though decorations have been been displayed, front and center, in my local Soriana super-mercado for at least a month, it is only in the last few days that the city’s electricians have been positioning lights on the trees around the zócalo…
to illuminate the welcoming niño.
Lambs have begun appearing…
Angels are being elevated…
Clothing is laundered in preparation for Navidad…
And, thousands of poinsettias have been brought in to add splashes of color to the beds beneath the 130+ year old Indian laurels.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
