For as long as I can remember, my mother has always made tamales during the Christmas season.
My mom didn’t make tamales. She was the youngest of 11 and told me her older sisters and mom kept her out of the kitchen, so she didn’t learn how. So during the holidays we’d go visit one of my aunts who made tamales. I always felt like somehow I missed out because even though I grew up eating tamales, I didn’t learn how to make them.
