¡Feliz Las Posadas!

"Las Posadas" translates to "The Inns" or "The Lodgings" and refers to a nine-night Mexican/Latin American Christmas tradition (Dec 16-24) reenacting Mary and Joseph's search for shelter in Bethlehem, involving processions, singing for lodging at different homes, and festive parties with piñatas, food, and carols, culminating in midnight Mass.

In Mexican tradition, the poinsettia, known as “La Flor de Nochebuena” (Flower of the Holy Night), symbolizes the spirit of giving and miracles. According to Mexican lore, a young child, Pepita, did not have a gift for the baby Jesus at a Christmas Eve service. She was penniless, so all she could do was pick a bouquet of weeds to offer. The angels felt compassion for her plight. So, after Pepita set the flowers at the crèche of the Nativity on Christmas Eve, the angels transformed the weeds into beautiful red flowers. This is why red and green are the colors of Christmas today.

The Aztecs call the poinsettia cuetlaxochitl which translates to brilliant flower. They used the bright bracts and the bark to make a colorful red/purple dye.

The Mayans refer to the poinsettia as k’alul wits, meaning ember flower. They used the colorful plants to liven up gardens and decorate homes.

Today, poinsettias are the most popular Christmas plant (after Christmas trees) and the best-selling potted plant in the United States and Canada, contributing over $250 million to the U.S. economy at the retail level. California remains the top U.S. poinsettia-producing state.

National Impaired Driving Prevention Month is in December to raise awareness that impaired driving can be deadly and to put strategies in place for all of us to make it home safely – during a time when family, togetherness, and parties all coincide. You are very important to us and we want you to celebrate and return home safely!

Alcohol-impaired driving crashes—which range from being under the influence of substances to distracted driving to speeding—increase throughout December as more people travel. This holiday season, each of us has the power to prevent a tragedy and ensure that those we know and care about get to and from their celebrations. Speaking up about what is OK and what is not OK is a good first step—not just in relation to alcohol use but also other substances that can compromise our ability to make it home safely.
