During our trip to Yucatan last weekend to visit Jorge’s family, I learned that pinatas aren’t just for birthday parties! Turns out they’re also popular at New Years.
On New Years Eve, around 2 am, there was a pinata at Jorge’s Uncle Mike’s house. Sorry about all the blurriness… I was still getting used to my new camera and action shots aren’t my forte.
On New Years Day, the cousins all got to participate in yet another pinata in the beach town of Chabihau.
Jorge might have grabbed some candy off the ground and hidden it in my purse. Cheater.

I am in love with the little pink-dress girl with the poof in her hair. Cuteness.
She was adorable!! (Of all the kids there, she was the only one I didn’t know! haha)
Makes me miss Mexican New Years! Only pictures I could boast are of snow, pork, and football.
Glad you had a good time celebrating. 🙂
Snow pictures are the best 🙂
I had a pinata full of mini tequila bottles for my bachelorette party. But…that probably wouldn’t be a good idea for kids 😉
We should hang out more.
Pinatas are so much fun. I didn’t know that people also use them on New years, thanks for sharing.
That’s one way to send all the aggression of the year out!
Love me some pinata pounding! Sounds like you had a great time! Can’t wait to break out of this joint this afternoon and meet up!
How fun for the kids!… and for Jorge. 🙂
I remember playing pinata in Hawaii. I can’t remember if my family bought it somewhere or made it, but it was for my birthday when I was just a little girl. Are those things filled only with candy or is the contemporary version housing much more?
