...and I haven't even had a sip of my husband's cocquito yet. I'm just in a sweeter mood...family's here from out of state, kids are excited, a thick piece of my mom's black cake is in my kitchen, and I don't have a single paper to grade. Happy times indeed! I wish all of you and yours much of the same--A very merry Christmas! (Happy Holidays to those of you who don't celebrate Christmas.)
And, for those who aren't yet in the mood, take a moment to read Janine Mendes-Franco's festive post on Christmas in the Caribbean, here at Global Voices. This should do the trick. Enjoy!
