PIĆATAS
PiƱatas are very popular in Mexico. All small kids are waiting with
excitement in their birthday parties because they know mama is going to
celebrate them with a nice colorful piƱata.
It is a very common tradition
in Mexico to break a piƱata in kids birthday parties as well as in the
traditional Posadas that are celebrated 15 days before Christmas.
These are fill with candies now a days, but in the ancient times
those piƱatas were fill with fruits( in my youth I had them that way). for example, oranges, pieces of sugar
cane, peanuts, limes, jicamas, small apples, and small toys, etc. .
They are all beautifully
hand crafted by the expert Indians in Mexico City.
