Posada

The Posada celebration with Kid's Club took place last Friday. It was absolutely crazy, but also a lot of fun. I left work early to go help set up, and stayed late helping with the clean up. I really enjoyed being part of that. There's something about working together with a bunch of other people towards a common goal that is very satisfying.

For the event itself, we had the kids sing a couple songs for the parents, then we went down the street singing the traditional Posada song, and gathered back up to do the Christmas pageant. Then came the food. It took a long time to get 150 (my personal guess) people through the line, but it did happen eventually. The rest of the time was largely unstructured social time while people ate. We did have a couple pinatas during that time. One was for kids seven and under, and the other one was for kids eight and up (and no, I did not get in line to hit that one).
