Our family had the unfortunate circumstance to run across this supposedly "lovable" Christmas Character that is supposed to be a Spanish version of Mrs. Claus. We encountered this creature at the Taos Christmas Parade and instead of making my young children laugh and be happy in the season, they were terrified to see this enormous goth-like woman with black lipstick and makeup wearing a very garish costume. They would have been okay except this woman after the parade commenced to clomp up and down the street demanding to speak to the little children, demanding they pay attention to her and not the true Santa and Mrs. Claus who were hired to be at the event and wanted us to pay to take a photo with her and also pay for a bag of what looked like crumbled and stale cookies.
My children would have nothing to do with her so there was no way that they would have sat still for a photo with the creature, nor were we going to pay this person.
