Mexican New Year

A friend asked us what we had planned for New Year’s this year. I hadn’t really given it much thought, so I answered that we’d probably watch fireworks on our rooftop, have a few adult beverages and try our best to stay awake until midnight.

So, I did a little research and found a treasure trove of customs that make the holiday so special here in Mexico.

Here is the super cool stuff I found.
