    @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.

    The sub cultures thing is so true.
    As a south Indian, when I have visited the North, it's like visiting a different country. People look different, different language (Hindi), better roads/railway infra and ofc, even the food is different.

    Heck, even when I go to Bangalore, an IT Hub in South India from my hometown, it feels different. Different language (Kannada), ease of access etc. The food is similar, but in a different style. (Just for an eg, check out difference between Kerala/Tamilnadu Ghee Roast and Karnataka Ghee Roast, it's essentially the same thing but looks and tastes different)
