Okay, I see one person from Mexico reading this. Am I getting the details right? You have to let me know. What I know about Christmas in Mexico is what I've researched and what my Mexican friends have told me. Thank you for reading everyone. I hope you are enjoying your holidays.

I do not own.

"What are we doing?" Beverly asked Caesar.

"Abuela asked us to decorate the house for the Posada tonight." Caesar said absent mindedly.

"What's the Posada?" Claire asked as she tied some evergreens to the top of the awning.

"Posada is Spanish for inn. It celebrates the part of the Christmas story where Joseph and Mary are looking for a place to stay." Caesar explained as he dragged some statues under the awning.

"What are those?" Annie asked as Caesar and Federico began placing the statues.

"It's the nativity scene. Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus surrounded by animals from the stable." Federico took over explaining.

"Oh, I've seen those around, usually in front of churches." Annie nodded. She leaned back. Unfortunately, she knocked against the ladder that Rex was on.

"Woah!" Rex yelped as the ladder was knocked from underneath him. He grabbed the edge of the awning just in time but his hands were on a string of evergreens which began ripping. He fell onto his back.

"Rex, are you all right?" Circe knelt over him.

"Alguien ha visto mi burro*?" He moaned.

"He's fine." Circe helped him up. "Why don't we go inside so you can rest?" She led him into the house.

"Sorry!" Annie called to him.

The little group continued decorating.

"Here, have some horchata." Abuela gave Rex a milky concoction.

"Gracias, Abuela." Rex took a sip. "Mmm, this is delicioso*."

"Would you like some too?" She offered to Circe.

"No thank you, Abuela." She declined. Turing to Rex, she asked. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah, but seriously, I'm not going out there. Annie's trying to kill me." Rex said seriously.

Circe snorted. "Oh come on, Rex. She's a little clumsy but you're a big boy. You can take it. Besides you don't want to hurt her feelings."

"I don't wanna hurt me." Rex whined.

Circe gave him a look.

"It's not like anyone's going to miss me." Rex grumbled.

Circe still looked at him.

"Even if her feelings are hurt, she'll get over it." Rex protested.

Circe raised an eyebrow.

"Fine, I'll go back outside." Rex conceded getting up.

"That's my guy." Circe smiled approvingly. She gave him a hug. Rex put an arm around her and they walked out together.

Abuela observed the exchange silently. After they left, she stroked her chin thoughtfully.

Beverly helped Caesar push the manger into place.

"Phew, it doesn't look heavy but it's a bear." Beverly wiped her brow.

"It needs to be weighted so it doesn't get knocked over in the wind." Caesar said as he placed hay into the manger.

"Makes sense." Beverly said as she walked over to a sheep.

"Let me help you." Caesar went over to her side. They both bent over at the same time. Their heads connected and they both got up quickly rubbing their heads.

"Sorry." They both said at the same time. They then smiled. Beverly giggled.

"Looks like Annie's not the only one who's clumsy." Rex observed walking up to the couple.

Caesar looked at Rex. "I guess you're feeling better then, mijo."

"Can't keep me down." Rex smirked as he placed his hands on his hips.

"Incoming!" Annie's voice called out frantically.

Rex looked in time to see a mound of evergreen leaves fall on top of him.

"Sorry." Annie called from the roof top, "I slipped."

"At least it's soft." Circe said.

A second later, Rex jumped from the pile. "Auuugghh, get it off!" He flailed his arms and spun around.

As far as Caesar could tell, there was nothing on Rex. Rex shook, shimmied, and danced erratically around.

Circe, who was trying to hold back her laughter, tried to help.

"Rex, hold still. I'll try to get him." She said as she attempted to get closer. But Rex was moving around too much.

Then he slipped on one of the fronds on the floor. His legs flew up before he hit the ground. As he was falling, something small flew from the sleeve of his shirt. A small brown squirrel-like animal dashed out.

"Ohh, what's that?" Annie asked excitedly.

"It's an agouti." Federico said in awe. "It's a rodent that's native to Mexico. They are endangered."

"Cool!" Annie pulled out her phone and snapped a picture of it. "I just saw an endangered animal!"

"It's so cute." Claire said also snapping a picture of it.

"You're so lucky, Annie." Federico added giving her a hug

"Yeah." She agreed.

Noah was taking a photo of Rex on the ground. He typed something before hitting a button. "Ha! I already got 100 hits on my post of you, Rex."

The agouti turned to look at Rex. It chattered furiously at the fallen boy before turning and scurrying away.

"Even in Mexico!" Rex groaned. Noah and Circe laughed.

"You're dead, Nixon." Rex growled.

So in my Christmas countdown story Rex was attacked by a chipmunk. Hehe. The furry animals are after him.
