Its nearlyChristmas

Its raining today, seems we are entering into the rainy season, hope it is not too bad on the 24th when we are at the Christmas market. Fortunately we are now the proud owners of a tent to keep the rain off us.
Expect to see all sorts of gifts available in the market from models of the baby jesus for nativity scenes, lots of religious artefacts, candles, textiles and lots of different types of herbs and mosses that are brought down from the mountains to make the stable more life like.
In addition you can buy miature cars, houses, money, bank bonds and anything that you want in real life, these are meant to simbolise your intent.
Prior to that we have a traditional chocolatada which is were we will be heading off to a community to give gifts, paneton and of course hot chocolate which is a real part of the Christmas tradition here.
Here in Peru the ceñlebration of Christmas is normally at midnight on the 24th, people have hot chocolate and wafer biscuits and in some cases will have their turkey at this time.
We personally will be working on the 24th from 5am to about 7pm, we will take it in shifts, but honestly its always a fun day.
Think thats all, have a wonderful day.
