Good stuff. The tradition seems to have morphed a bit - we now grill the steak outdoors, no matter what the weather in Pennsylvania.

At Steve's house growing up, his parents would invite some other Ukrainian friends and relatives over for dinner and have a traditional Ukrainian cabbage soup that I don't know the name of. I've tried to make it, but it doesn't ever turn out anything like his mother's so I gave up. Last night we went to midnight mass, which was very nice. I'd like to make that a new tradition. :) Our Christmas eve tradition growing up was to open one present on Christmas eve night.

At least a friend was able to mail us a new supply of guascas!

And, to be genuinely Bogotano, be sure to find the corn with the largest and toughest kernels you can. When I was in Colombia, I loved the ajiaco, though the type of corn they use took some getting used to. Anyway, that's a neat tradition for your family!
