In Texas they have a wonderful tradition. On Christmas Eve, families gather together after the early evening church service to eat Mexican food in their own homes. This is a custom we always enjoy when we spend Christmas in San Antonio with David and Suzanne. The good part is that the food is wonderful Tex Mex food, enchiladas, tamales, rice, re-friend beans. The best part is all the food is ordered from the restaurant near by, so when you order the food a few days ahead of time, you just pick up the food in the afternoon, and after church and a quick heat in the oven, dinner is served. It is a great tradition. And the Mother of the home does not have to cook.
Tonight at Christina and Andrew's home in Mississippi, we did the same thing, thanks to David and Suzanne. They sent the food to us via Fed Ex. It arrived at three o'clock today, and when we came home from Christmas Eve Service, Andrew put the food in the oven to re-heat, and we sat around casually and enjoyed the delicious food. It was the Christmas gift to Andrew and Christina from David and Suzanne, and Ken and I were just along for the ride. It is a great gift and much appreciated by all. This Texas tradition is a good one.
