Whack-a-Santa

About 12:30, New Year's morning. Cecilia, who has provided the Santa pinata full of candies and peanuts, gets to bash her own creation. The lady that runs this annual party on Cecilia's block never lets anyone get away: she grabs them, puts the blindfold on, and sort of points them in the direction of the pinata. Two of her family members are out of site, yanking on the rope every time the happy-go-lucky whacker tries to get in a hit. This Santa took about 15 whacks before he finally exploded, showering candy cigarettes and lollies everywhere. Then, the kids rush in and grab whatever they can, while the family sets ups the next pinata.
