So Tul,
were you in Mexico on New Year's Eve, and if so, how do you and the people there celebrate?

East of the mighty Miss.
Yes, I was here on New Years. I spent the night at a friends pool party and got home around 4am. Mexicans tend to celebrate things a lot. Or A LOT. Most families start the party around noon and end it a day or two later. Christmas Eve is the same way. On Christmas Eve the family usually gathers around 6pm and there's a little drinking and partying until midnight. Then everyone goes to midnight mass. After which the drinking and partying really starts. I drove a gift over to my friend who I knew would be working the desk at his hotel (couldn't bring himself to make one of his employees work) as I drove across town every house and yard was lit up, many homes had live bands and everyone looked like they were headed to the opera. It's a big event. Christmas isn't the day most people exchange gifts. That will happen on Tuesday the 6th. Which is known as "The Three Kings Day" Thats the day the three wise men were supposed to have arrived in Bethlehem and gave gifts to the baby Jesus.
