Carlos, Light the Farolito

This unique holiday story introduces a Christmas custom practiced in parts of Mexico and near the Mexican border of the United States: Las Posadas, a traditional reenactment of the Nativity. On Christmas Eve, Carlos is dismayed to see the procession of neighbors and friends coming up the front walk. His parents and grandfather aren`t home yet-so it`s up to Carlos to take over Grandfather`s role as the Innkeeper. But he`s so frightened, he can hardly breathe, let alone sing! Carlos`s triumph over his shyness, and the joyful celebration that follows, make this a satisfying story for any season. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
