My mom found Jesus

Every year my mom forgets where she stashed Jesus earlier in December in preparation for Christmas.

And every year she goes "I found Jesus!" and then cackles at her own joke.

...She also insists on making baby crying sounds at midnight as we put him on the manger.

Meanwhile, my stepdad started singing "Happy Birthday" at the same time.

ah nothing like wearing your new clothes on Christmas Eve so you can rewatch the Roberto Carlos special with your family in the living room just to wait until midnight so you can hug each other and say merry Christmas

[debaucherries]

Happy Latino Christmas everyone! May Papá/Papai Noel grant you a great party, and may your tia bring a decent side dish this year

[atheostic]

"Have you found Jesus yet?"

Not me, but my mom found him. She'd put him in the metal cabinet the manger is sitting on.

Thanks for checking, though! :)

Christmas Pozole

On this years menu, I bring to the table Pozole. When I think of family time at the holidays, Pozole has a seat. This is because 1) it's damn easy to prepare ahead of time and 2) it can feed as many as you're hosting with minimal additional time. The limiting factor here may simply be the size of the vessel you choose to cook it in.

If you're new to Pozole - it's a traditional Mexican soup that is often served during special occasions, such as Christmas. It is made with hominy, a type of corn that has been treated with an alkali solution, and a variety of meats - traditionally pork. Chicken, beef, and lamb is also acceptable if you have a preference. Pozole is seasoned with a blend of spices and chilies, and it is typically served with a variety of garnishes, such as shredded cabbage, diced onions, sliced radishes, and fresh cilantro.

One of the great things about pozole is that it tastes even better the longer it is simmered, as the flavors have more time to meld together and intensify. This happens because of fat from the cut of meat. This makes it a perfect dish to prepare in advance, as it can be made, say, first thing in the morning, or the night before and allowed to simmer slowly on the stove or in a slow cooker between 8 and 48 hours. It takes about 30 minutes in total prep including garnish and clean up.

It's important to note that recipes are meant to be adapted to your own personal preferences and the ingredients that you have on hand. I'll write a larger post on this some day, but for now I want to simply say that recipes are just another persons idea - I'll be here to encourage you to have your own ideas. I am not the Pozole king - I am simply another Latino. Feel free to experiment with different meats, vegetables, and spices to find the combination that you enjoy. You can also adjust the level of heat in the soup by using more or less chilies.

Here's everything I'm including in my recipe this Christmas, which I suggest serves 4-6.

Soup - 2 lbs of Pork Loin 1 Onion 1 Garlic Bulb 3 cups of Veggie Stock 12 Chiles de Arbol 1 can of Crushed Tomato 1 30 oz can of Hominy (Drain it) Oregano Cloves Salt + Peppercorns

Garnish - Cabbage Raddish Crema Tostadas

My Game Plan - 1) Cut that pork into large bite size chunks. Remember the pork shrinks while cooking. Toss the pork into your soup pot of choice - my stock pot w/ liter measurements on the inside serves me here.

2) Dad-chop the onion - think large pieces. Crush and peel the garlic. Add half in the pot. The other half is used in step 5.

3) Add in the stock. Sub with water so that the pork is submerged about an inch. This is nearly the entirety of the soup base. In total, this was about 6 cups of liquid. Add a lil salt - 1.5 teaspoons? Turn on the pot - the intention of simmering starts now.

4) In a separate, smaller pot, boil about 3 cups of water, enough to submerge the chilis for 5-7 minutes. The point of this step is to rehydrate and soften said chilis. Drain when you feel it's appropriate.

5) We're going to blend the chilis, the remaining garlic, onion, the tomatoes, and 1/2 cup of the hominy. I accomplished this via an immersion blender, but it could also be a food processor, or hell - a knife if necessary. Simply blend as much as your heart desires.

6) Add the blend to this soup pot. Add in oregano and cloves - probably 2x as much I'd expect. Mix it all together.

7) Simmer it all until meal time. Don't forget those garnish when this time comes. :'~)

Merry Christmas.

“One Christmas Eve we even made a snowman at the north pole.”

a version without the snow effects

also the quote is from s2ep3 and the rest of it is

“my son cried when he didn’t see a santa’s workshop, so we told him we’d gone to the south pole by mistake.”

Remus is like uncannily tall and worryingly skinny

The mf’s built like Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas

I have a hard time believing he could be the Casanova of Gryffindor

Like James is way more appealing to the average teenage girl (and boy…we see you Regulus). He’s just a little taller than average, he’s all muscly, he speaks Spanish, is tanned, he does sports and his smart, has perfect skin, etc.

Likeee??

Remus is very attractive in his own way if you actually look. But James is like every basic girls wet dream.

I apologize, I have nothing for Christmas besides this small doodle I did based off a cute image I found while scrolling, this whole month has kept me busy but I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Christmas!

[spac3trash]

I have a new obsession…

anything ansgty with latino!james?

i usually wouldn't take an ask this vague, but jamies always on my mind so yes! thank you for requesting bb, forehead kisses<33

this isn't very angsty, but when I get into that mood I'll write a little something else

cw: surrounding topic is christmas, slight arguing, mentions of a sick and dying relative, probably horrible spanish

474 words, latino!james x f!reader

You weren't scared to tell James your parents wanted you at theirs' for Christmas, you were scared of the way he'd feel about it. You always do Christmas Eve at your parent's house, and Christmas day at his.

Usually, if this were to happen with any other guy you'd just say fuck it and stay home for Christmas, but not James. James practically worships his parents.

"Guess what, mi amor!" James shouts as he walks into your flat, dropping off large brown bags in the kitchen.

"Hm?" You hum back.

"San Nicolas is coming soon! Snow is pounding down outside, look!" James says, boyishly.

"I actually have to talk to you about that, James."

His eyes brighten as he sets the milk gallon in the refrigerator. "Mami is making that pozole that you liked for Christmas dinner, I've been craving her cooking so bad lately." James says, moving his hands and arms around as he always does to express his language easier. Your heart cracks a little, you both haven't seen Fleamont or Euphemia in over 3 months, and for the Mama's boy, you know it's difficult.

"James, I can't be at your mom's Christmas dinner." You say, a frown on your face. His shoulders drop, his smile fading.

"What, why?" He practically whines.

"I'm sorry, Jamie, my parents want me home this year, you know my grandpa is sick."

"Yes! But-." James stops himself and rubs his eyes under his glasses.

"You can still go! I just won't be there." You try to bargain, but James shakes his head immediately.

"No! I don't want to be without you on a day that's supposed to be filled with happiness." He almost pouts.

"James, I don't want you to miss out on seeing your parents. Please, please go on and stay with your mum and dad on Christmas."

"¡No! Es contigo con quien quiero estar en Navidad. Por favor, ¿por qué no podemos hacerlo como lo hacemos normalmente?" James exclaims.

"I'm gonna go in the other room and let you take a breath, when you can speak to me maturely, come on in." You sigh, standing and walking into your bedroom.

Of course, you want to be with James and his lovely family on Christmas, but your grandfather could be dying!

Only a few minutes pass by, hearing James pace, until he comes into the room and sits next to you on the bed.

"I'm sorry, I just really want you there."

"I really want to be there, Jamie."

"Maybe we can FaceTime the whole time? And I can drive back home after or something."

"No, love, your parents live almost 3 hours away. It'll be okay, next year we'll go back to normal."

"I'll miss you."

"You're very cringey. It's only one day, honey, we'll survive." He smiles, and ultimately, Christmas turns out okay.

If you unironically say 'Luke was right' in 2024,i implore you to re-read Percy's povs and pay extra attention to TLT in particularly.Percy knew the gods weren't shit on sight,Luke ain't special for taking until he was 18 to realize the system is fucked and taking it out on anyone but who was actually to blame for it when Percy did that before hitting puberty and beat up literal gods about it-Who only came because of Luke LMFAO #symbolism #prophecycore #lanadelrey
