There was a great moment when some American tourists came by, and looked confused by the proceedings and walked by. One of our students yelled in English, "Come back! It's free!"

Forget Santa! Here in Mexico, the presents are brought today by los Reyes Magos, or, the Three Wise Men. Of course, most Mexican kids get presents for Christmas too so, doubly lucky.

The students are often asking us, "Hey, do Mexicans eat turkey at Christmas?" Some do, although you'll find the ones in Oaxaca are often not exactly plump and juicy. Personally, I like a good bacalao, reflecting our Spanish roots, at Christmas but, for those of you who HAVE to have a turkey...

Here's a recipe from the El Sol de la Costa (Puerto Escondido) website for Turkey Mole. Some of the chiles you may need to get at a Mexican or Latin American grocery store.
