I suppose I better add my two cents, before Mrs. M bans me from her Christmas table! ( You all know she wouldn't do that) I come from the Panama Canal Zone. My Father was an American employee there for many years. My Mother was born there. All Holidays, are celebrated with much tado there. We actually start celebrating at the first of the month with many parties. It is also very religious and there are a lot of Church events also. We, because of my Dad had the traditional food, but also tamales and other food common to my Country of birth. Now that we live in the US, my family still gets together as we did there, but include our wonderful new American friends!
