Feliz Navidad

No party is complete without a pinata.  Mostly for children, they are typically filled with fruit and candy. The super deluxe ones might have small toys as well.  Adult versions can be made to order, but the Christmas Pinata at a staff party at a big hotel here in Puerto Vallarta included fun things like colorful condoms, lube and, um, recreational drugs...plus the gestalt you get from beating it with a big stick! 

I've seen Christmas Tree shaped Pinatas, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Pinatas and of course a Santa Claus Pinata.  It's fun to be someplace so totally different to celebrate the holidays than the evergreen and snow filled cold of the northeast in which I grew up and, until last year, had always spent the holidays.

I hope whereever you are when you read this that you have a happy healthy holiday.

It's been an exciting year here at Urbanfoodguy and I can't thank you enough for being part of it.
