Although Christmas trees are making inroads, in Oaxaca it is the nacimiento de navidad (nativity scene) that is the omnipresent symbol of Christmas. Unique and personal, they are seen everywhere; the zócalo, homes, hotel lobbies, store windows, and every kind of business you can think of!
And, yes, this “spiritual but not religious” gringa couldn’t resist a miniature woven straw one of her own. It’s a work of art!

A wonderful reminder of what Christmas is about. And great to see the heart of Oxaca through your lens!
Thank you… Oaxaca has an enormous heart!
This IS el Noche de Rabanos, isn’t it? For goodness’ sake, don’t miss it!
Definitely didn’t miss it! And, just finished downloading almost 400 photos. It may take a few days, but stay tuned.
