Thank you so much my sunshine!

The celebration of your namesday is in Mexico an old tradition, due to the importance of the family links. For instance my name was choosen in honor of the memory of my father's father. The importance of it is to remember but as well to enrich our culture. Unfortunately this beautiful custom is disappearing because young peaple prefer to celebrate their birthdays. When I was a child I even received gifts on my namesday and my mother was so kind and lovely by cooking for me a delicious "mole de pollo" and as a side disch "arroz a la mexicana" and hand made "tortillas". Those were beautiful moments in our family.
