Have a Chicano Christmas

by UnknownMami on December 19, 2011

It has become a yearly tradition that around Christmas I re-post 12 Days of Christmas Chicano Style. This was written about 3 years ago by Meeko Fabulous and myself.

Santa Claus

On the twelfth day of Christmas
my Nana gave to me
doce pork tamales,
eleven full piñatas,
ten chiles rellenos,
nine Padre Nuestros, (Our Fathers)
ocho tostadas,
seven Tias chismiando, (Aunts gossiping)
six kinds of chile,
five nalgadas (I was bad), (butt spankings)
four jalapeños,
three pairs of chanclas,
dos saladitos,
and a perico in an aguacate tree.

If I haven’t completely Christmas-ed you out, stop by Aiming Low where I posted a humorous letter to Santa. Perhaps, it will inspire you to do your own. If you do, let me know so I can read it.
