This coming Sunday, April 30th, is Children’s Day (Día del Niño) in Mexico. While downtown I saw this sign at the entrance to a bakery.
“Consiéntelos”
Spoil them with a miniature cake.
This billboard along Patriotismo Avenue is from Sanborns, the ubiquitous chain of restaurants/ pharamcies / gift shops.
“Haz realidad sus sueños”
Make their dreams come true.
In elementary schools across the country, classes will have a party this week to celebrate Children’s Day. However, Alejandro’s nephew Ezra will not have a class party since he is now in junior high school. Instead, they celebrate Students’ Day (Día del Estudiante) which is May 23rd. Even though Ezra is nearly a teenager now, Alejandro and I bought him a couple small presents for Children’s Day.
