The Shalom Amigos Jewish Mexican Hanukkah Shirt Is Here – and It’s On Sale

Behold the Shalom Amigos Jewish Mexican Hanukkah Shirt, a fine product to kick off your 2024 Hanukkah celebrations, which this year begins on Christmas Day, which has only happened four times since 1900, so we’re calling it Chrismukkah.

It’s still on sale and it can be yours for $16.27 if you hurry! That way you can use the precious money saved on some Mexican sugnanivot or a few Shalom tortillas.

Happy Hanukkah to all my amigos who celebrate!

Merry Christmas from a CDMX Grinch Organ Grinder

Nothing says Christmas in Mexico City like a Grinch organillero.

If you’ve ever visited Mexico, I’m sure you have noticed the ubiquitous organ grinders (known as organilleros,) that tend to gather around main plazas or outside churches to provide entertainment –and one of the most characteristic sounds of my country.

Nowadays, most of Mexico’s organilleros belong to a union (formed in the late 1970s) and wear their characteristic brown uniform and hats. But there are exceptions, of course, as this dude found by a friend in CDMX, who roams about the streets of the capital city dressed up as none other but The Grinch.

And this, my friends, is the most charming thing I’ve seen lately in this annus horribilis.
