Every year my abuelita makes 200 tamales for our families Christmas Eve gathering. Over the past few years we have made it into a family event with my sisters and some of my cousins. It is a labor intensive project, taking 3 hours to cook the meat, make the masa, moisten the husks, put them all together, and steam them. The deliciousness is what makes it all worth while at the end of the day. It also gives us an excuse to come together as a family and do somethign fun while learning more about different recipes and traditions of my grandmothers past.
