Christmas eve was excellent, Christmas day was just perfect. The kids woke up with the roosters (yes, that's before 6am...) and were very excited to discover that Santa had found us here in Mexico. Quite a guy that Mister Claus! The magic of Christmas is in their hearts, no matter where they are. Stockings filled with goodies, and a coconut instead of the usual orange (although it is orange season here in Yucatan, but we don't want to ask too amny tricky questions...).
Had breakfast, opened presents, and went for a horse ride. It was pretty mellow, until Tim's horse took off runnning... and I mean Grand Gallop! Tim was screaming 'wo, Wo, WOOOO' as the horse ran faster and faster - it was sooo funny! Then the horse turned onto a path and we could not see him anymore (but we could hear Tim!), and it was not so funny anymore. Victoriano tied the boys horses to a nearby fense and ran to catch up to Tim. Thankfully, he came back nice and slow, with Tim behind him. He was fine. Pale and quiet, but fine. (the running scene still makes me crack up though...).
A simple Christmas dinner, roasted chicken and mashed potatoes with carrots, and gravy. I baked a 'renverse a l'ananas' for dessert, yummy. It was a beautiful Christmas, Amen.
