Advent Calendar: fixins

Advent Calendar:

Dec 9
Those little crackers with the sugar flowers on them for Christmas. (Florecitas?) Those large tins of Sultanas (knock-off brand of Saltines) that we would manage to consume briskly. (Soaking them in coffee for breakfast) I have a memory of two of those tins out in the PR countryside. Some elderly family lady (probably a Soto), gaunt, in one of those little cotton dresses using those tins, one to wash clothes and the other to cook pig swill.
