I thought and thought whether to set up a christmas tree or not. My first option was not to. Then a friend of mine said I should.. mmm… and so I did. Took me more than a couple of hours.
And when I finished I felt like Christmas was here. I’m glad I did. (Flori and Candy enjoyed the set up too.. 🙂 )
Did you know that: (From Wikipedia)
The Mexican Catholic interpretation of the piñata rested on the struggle of man against temptation. The seven points represent the seven deadly sins. The pot represents evil and the seasonal fruit and candy inside the temptations of evil.
The person with the stick is blindfolded to represent faith. The turning and the singing and shouting represent the disorientation that temptation creates. In some traditions, the participant is turned thirty three times, one for each year of Christ‘s life.
These interpretations were given to the piñata for catechism purposes. As the participant beats the piñata, it is supposed to represent the struggle against temptation and evil. When the piñata breaks, the treats inside then represent the rewards of keeping the faith.
…and all this when changing into christmas time!.
Did you? 🙂
