I grew up in Puerto Rico, where it is warm all year round. In December, specially at night, it can get a little "chilly", and by that I mean 70-75 degrees. I always remember going to mass at 5:00AM for 8 mornings before Christmas. The church would ring the bells and play Christmas music in Spanish on the loud speakers until mass started and no one complained. We would then go home for breakfast and wait until it was time to go to school. I remember feeling so cold and looking for a sweater, which we didn't have. No one owned a sweater back then. As a grown up I was helping once clean the church and I found the record they played on the speakers but it was so old and had being so abused year after year that it was impossible to fix. I always wish my kids were able to listen to that beautiful music.
