MERRY CHRISTMAS NEWS
Merry Christmas to all our clients and readers and I hope that everyone will continue to keep the Christ in Christmas and not be influenced by the "politically correct" manner of not offending anyone who does not celebrate Christmas. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and celebrations without trying to change traditions.
The town is bright with hanging decorations over the downtown streets, and today is the last day of the 12 day celebration of the Virgen de Guadalupe, with parades of devoted pilgrims marching with their candles and offerings to our famous crowned church. Church Bells are ringing all day and night and fireworks light up the sky on the beautiful cool evenings.
The plaza was filled with vendors and the streets with local tasty snacks. Aztec dancers, mariachi, floats with precious children dressed as the Virgen of Guadalupe and Juan Diego filled the streets of the historic center.
