If asked to complete the sentence, "It isn't Christmas in New Mexico without...," the first word on my list would be "tamales." These savory corn-husk wrapped packets of deliciousness are tasty year-round (I'll eat a good one any day that I can get my hands on it), but they have a special place in many of our hearts and on our tables come December.

Are you ready for a Christmas party or three? I’ve got my share coming up and I’ve been to my share of office parties that were both excruciatingly dull and recklessly drunken. I never understood why someone you least suspected would end up getting totally smashed at the company Christmas party. Lots of people turned out each year just to see who it would be and how bad it would go. I suppose the Christmas parties I’ve organized over the years have always been a bit too corpor...
