It's good, we always learn something new every day. What led me to read more about this tradition. In Mexico people take their baby Jesus figurine to church the same way Virgin Mary presented him. We eat tamales because they're related to pre-Hispanic celebrations when Mayans believed people were made of corn and they offered this kind of dishes to their gods. And I've just read China is celebrating the New Chinese Year which can be related with light I guess. You can eat it the next day it doesn't matter if it isn't a special day. We eat something special because during the Epiphany Day or the Three Kings' Day we eat a rosca (a kind of cake/bread that has a donut form but bigger) and it contains a small baby Jesus figurine (el niño). If you get el niño you have to invite the tamales in the Candelaria celebration. I'm not sure about the origin I think it is related with the fact that we love parties and food!
Haha LOL, it seems like I'm the only one around here who can resist it Everyone is so crazy for chocolate, I never knew...
Chocolate is one of the best things on earth! I could eat a whole chocolate cake or a bag of kisses or ferreros! Well, not that much, but if someone wants to makes me happy all I need is chocolate!
to explain...I am currently on a diet. Actually i overate again today but it is somewhat working and I have lost some weight. Cakes are difficult to fit into my diet plan...
I hate overeating, I know how you feel I heard a joke once that goes like this: For me going on a diet is not enough. I must go on two :laugh1:
Yes, it does. I was overreacting because I do love chocolate <3 I know what your talking about. I stopped eating some delicious food because I was gaining weight. Today someone in my family decided to eat cake and as we don't eat it that often I thought it was good to eat a slide
