Oh, the Sounds of Christmas

Fireworks: for the entire month of December and part of January, at all hours of the day and night, fireworks of various kinds will be heard. We participate in the creation of this particular festive sound.

The squeals of pigs being led away from their pens: pork is a favorite for Christmas Dinner. We bought a frozen ham. We're such gringos!

Similar unhappy sounds from chickens:
we were given a rooster this week, obviously with the intention that he would make a holiday dinner for us. However, we found that he was useless in the kitchen, so we're making the dinner without his help. His name is Pincher.

Raucous singing: we were serenaded at 4:30am, by a group of young men with much more enthusiasm than talent. This followed an especially nice display of fireworks. Did I mention it was 4:30am?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! We wish you all a joyous celebration of the birth of our Lord!

Merry Christmas Trish. I don't think a rooster would be too tasty either. Sounds so interesting down there.
