Why didn’t you say so!
¿Eres tu José? ¿Tu esposa es María? Entren, peregrinos, no los conocía.
Is that you Joseph? Your wife is Mary? Come in, pilgrims – I didn’t recognize you!

Party food!
All the pilgrims were finally invited in….they walked through the house to the patio out back. There they found decorations and food for a big fiesta!

Maravillosa!
The Quimper Hittys were given a wonderful Piñata! Valeria, a student from México made it specially for them, and filled it with confetti, tiny sweets and oranges.

Piñata!
The girls took turns trying to break the piñata by whacking it with a stick while blindfolded.

Tansy in charge
They couldn’t bear to really break it, so they just pretended…

Que Rica comida
…and ended the night by feasting on gooey sweets and delicious fruit!
The lanterns are made using artificial tea lights, and Japanese lantern husks…thanks very much to notesfrombjorkasa for this idea!!! (click here for a link to this awesome blog) The Quimper Hittys love the result!
So beautiful. Thank you, Merry Christmas, Love, nia
You are welcome, and thank you for being my friend.
Glorious ending indeed. Finding that one had such special guests would indeed call for a party such as you have given. Thank you for the cheer.
We thought it was a beautiful and fun end to the Posadas! The Hittys are glad we didn’t really break the piñata.
I can see that the fun is in “full swing” …so to speak… with that wonderful piñata and all those scrumptious goodies. This is the most wonderful time of the year. I spy another Hitty friend has come to join in the festivities.
Ha ha, good pun! Yes, Buttercup is having fun with the rest of the girls today. she usually just sits in the arbor dreaming of flowers!
I love the Quimper Hitty stories, especially the seasonal ones from other cultures. My favourite is the Icelandic Christmas tale that went on for weeks with those creepy blue hands and feet and a brave if slightly reckless and naive Min at her cutest. This is the series I am thinking of: https://quimperhitty.wordpress.com/tag/jolasveinar/
Yes, that post-Icelandic adventure was very amusing, wasn’t it! We are glad you have been enjoying this years fun 😊
Glorious! And, I LOVE the garlands, and the lantern and ALL the exquisite decorations! Pure joy! Wishing you the very happiest Christmas- thank you for all the beauty that you create! ❤
Thanks 😊We are having such a good time playing in the Hitty cupboard and it is nice that you like to play along with us!
what a wonderful ending to the “story” and what a marvelous party. Such a Merry Christmas posting. The girls are lovely in their new dresses.
The Quimper Hittys love anything that involves fun and delicious food. We are glad you enjoy their frolicking!
Love, love, LOVE the tea light they have!!! I must go shopping for Japanese lantern husks for the Bonsai Hittys!!
Wasn’t that a great idea! The Hittys just love those little lanterns!
