Little R's class had a parents program/holiday party this past week and they themed it around a traditional Mexican Posada.
The kids were darling as they all piled in and asked if there was room at each "home" (aka, classrooms) until the third "home" that had us parents welcomed them (if you are unsure of what a Mexican Posada is read here). They then whipped out their instruments and sang us a bunch of holiday songs including 'Feliz Navidad', so so so cute!
Then it wouldn't be a traditional Mexican party without the piñata! However, did you know that Piñatas actually originated back in Italy but basically the Mexicans took the idea and ran with it? True story, look it up.
OH BOY!!! After we rotated through all the classrooms, we got back to our original spot where the kids were instructed to sing "Jingle Bells" as loud as they possibly could (Little R took the prize on the decibel meter for sure). As the teacher kept them singing guess who snuck in behind them....SANTA!!! Each child got to ask Santa for a special gift for Christmas and in return he gave them each a gift (it was a stuffed snowman or reindeer). So much fun! I wish I could go back to preschool, maybe I'd appreciate it more, you think??
Peace on Earth, Good-Will to Men!
