If you'll be heading to Mexico in the next few days, be sure to pack a sweater in with your warm weather clothes. We're expecting a cold front that will probably bring steep drops in temperatures across the country. Northern and central Mexico will be most affected by this cold front, with temperatures below freezing in some areas. The states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Zacatecas are taking precautions, in some cases delaying the return of school children to classes.

I ran into these guys while strolling through town the other night. Apparently they were taking it easy before their difficult task of delivering gifts to Mexican children last night. Today is Día de Reyes, Kings Day and the children have opened their gifts and are getting ready to enjoy some delicious Rosca de Reyes a sweet bread that is traditionally eaten on this day.

Santa may have come and gone, but Mexican children are still awaiting the visit of the
three kings - so the holidays in Mexico aren't over quite yet! January 6th is
Three Kings Day, known as the
Día de Reyes. It is customary to eat
Rosca de Reyes, a sweet bread shaped like a wreath, with candied fruit on top, and a figurine of a baby Jesus baked inside. The person who finds the figurine is expected to host a party on
Día de la Candelaria,
Candlemas, celebrated on February 2nd.
