Josefina’s Southwest Christmas- Hands-On History
What was Christmas like in America’s Southwest Frontier? It’s 1824… the warm dusty streets are filled with all the sights, sounds and smells of Christmas! Biscochos, piñon smoke, farolitos, las posadas, and mariachi! Maybe this sounds like Christmas in another country to you! Nope! These are all some of the things Josefina Montoya loved about Christmas in her beloved Santa Fe!
