You can already see the lights hanging around the Vargas hacienda before Alejandro even pulls the vehicle to a stop. There’s immaculate decorations and lights that capture your attention, and create a pathway leading to the house.

He promised that your first time spending Christmas in Mexico would be unforgettable, and you had a lot to expect. It wasn’t just him and his immediate family that would be there.

Alejandro told you that his familia and his madre invited the extended family to meet you. It was your first trip to Mexico since you and Alejandro had gotten engaged, and they were excited to meet you.

When the vehicle finally pulled to a stop and you could get out of the passenger’s side, you were blown away by the immaculate decorations. The overhanging lights were accompanied by handmade and hand painted paper lanterns that were strung along. Fresh flowers laid out in pots along the front steps and porch had continued the path toward the front door.

Everything was set up and ready for you, for your first visit.
