Sponsored this week by Plaza Fabiola Courtyard Boutique and Su Casa on “Rodeo (curios) Rd.”
For all your holiday needs!
Along with shimmering lights, posole, and ponche, the December holiday season in Mexico is also marked by traditional daily pilgrimages leading up to the celebration of the Día de la Virgen Guadalupe (Dec 12th). These pilgrimages – which began Dec. 1st in the Old Port – are held every evening, culminating on the night of the 11th and bringing together different parts of the community for a procession alongside the patron saint of Mexico. December also means posadas – or rather traditional holiday parties. While businesses and friends hold various sorts of posadas throughout the month of December, traditionally these begin on Dec. 16th and up through Christmas Eve – recalling the pilgrimage of the Holy Family Bethlehem in seeking room at the inn (the curios shops along “Rodeo” often traditional posadas during this time). However you celebrate the holidays, we invite you to take a look at what’s up in Rocky Point. Let’s run down the weekend!
