I noticed yesterday that the shopping mall down the street from my apartment is now decorated for Christmas.
The "nacimiento" (Nativity scene) is an integral part of the holiday decorations in Mexico. Long before Christmas trees and Santa Claus became popular, families here have been setting up a "nacimiento" in their homes. Sometimes they are enormous displays that take up much of a room or the patio with an elaborate landscape of hills and rivers and villages... with a cast of thousands (well, maybe hundreds) of figures in addition to the basic Holy Family, shepherds and wise men. So this is a very simple "nacimiento".
In case you are wondering, the D95 refers to the name of the mall... Dakota 95, its street address.
