Tip of the Week

In Mexico birthdays are celebrated with Piñatas. The piñata, usually made out of paper mache and in the form of an animal, is filled with goodies and hung from the ceiling. The birthday child is blindfolded and hits the piñata until it is cracked open. All the children share the goodies. Also, when a daughter is 15, the birthday is celebrated with a special mass in her honor. A party is then given (called a Quinciñera) to introduce her to everyone as a young woman. The father dances a waltz with her.
