    @FrankZ You were probably asleep by the time you saw my comment, but, did a bit of reading up - https://www.whychristmas.com/cultures/mexico

    And, a Merry X-mas to you and the family.

    We are not exactly the typical Mexican family when it comes to religion. The majority of Mexicans are Catholic and celebrate Christmas on Dec 25th. My family has been Orthodox since before one side my grandparents came over from Russia, through Ellis Island, and then settled in northern Mexico around 1900. Orthodox Christians still follow the Julian calendar, where most other people use the Gregorian calendar. This is the reason that traditional Christian holidays are celebrated on different dates by Orthodox Christians. So Christmas is on January 7th. We also have a few different ways to celebrate. See below video :)

    When they were young I told the kids that one of the advantage of being Orthodox, and celebrating Christmas on January 7th, was that we could buy more presents for them because of the after traditional Christmas sales. I expect that this was one of the reasons that the family has stayed Orthodox through the generations. :wink:

    It does surprise most people unfamiliar with Mexico that many Mexican families can trace their roots back to various countries other than Spain. There are plenty of families that have Russian, German, French, English, Syrian, Lebanese, Jewish, Chinese, and African ancestors from more that 100 years ago. All mixed in with various indigenous tribes that were native to pre-hispanic Mexico. My wife's side of the family traces back to France as another example.

    This is very interesting!

    The shotgun tradition ? :sunglasses:

    Didn't watch the video, I meant your roots and the different races in Mehico.

    I was just joking with you. Mexico is an interesting place once you scratch the surface. I expect most other places are too. It's just that most people do not make the effort to go beyond what can be seen easily.

    India always seemed fascinating to me, but I guess this would not be surprising to most people as most everyone knows that India has had a long and diverse history, with many different subcultures.

    You are welcome. I figured if you took the time to try and look up why I was celebrating Christmas on Jan 7th, you deserved a proper explanation.

    Anytime. Gabriel talks about the Mexican culture a lot in his shows. He also did tour India, when he found some similarities between the people, the most important of which is the importance of la familia.

  • I always find it interesting that most people think that all Latinos eat hot spicy food, but that is not actually the case. The wife and I always have to sneak our bottles of salsa into other Latin American countries that we visit because they don't have much hot stuff normally. Good to know that would not be the case if we ever get to visit India.

  • That brings me to facts for today. I am gonna share a few facts about India. I believe I did share a few facts here and there, but, I am gonna share more. I will let Frank share some awesome facts about Mexico!
