Christmas Eve from Cuba

It was another rollicking International Christmas Eve at our house.

For the 12th year, we celebrated the food and culture of another region and country. This year it was Cuba.

We choose the country mid-year, and Wife begins planning doing her research. One thing she learned this year was that, for many of the years (30, maybe?) Cuba was under the rule of Castro, Christmas was not celebrated. So finding Cuban Christmas traditions was not easy.

But finding recipes and décor to lend ambiance to the occasion? She came through in spades, as always, and she even found a playlist of Christmas music with a Cuban beat!

Here is a glimpse of the party last night. Merry Christmas to all!
