The Knutz Family In Mexico

Mike drove us to Apatzingan which is 2.5 hours from La Haucana to join Mario and Gumero's family for their traditional Christmas Eve celebration. (Two brothers on the left). Christmas in Mexico is celebrated as New Year's in the US. Families come together for an all night fiesta which involves music, food and fire-works. As we were driving home at 1:30 AM, traveling through numerous small towns, each town was alive. Gift-giving is not the focus here. It's all about getting together. ~T
