New Mexico residents will tell you that they have enjoyed biscochos at Christmas time As one family stated during a return visit to relatives in Las Cruces and purchase of biscochos at Osito's Biscochitos; "We love eating your biscochos because it brings back a part of the family that we miss. All our brothers and sisters can sit around decorate the Christmas tree and reminisce about the family growing up while we eat biscochos and sip on wine.
Along with religion, we attribute the biscochos as special moments in our lives that we can never forget. If you ever walked into Grandma's kitchen during the holiday season you can never forget that smell of freshly baked biscochos. Tradition is what makes New Mexico and The Bischochito special".
One source has said one of the reasons the early Spaniards baked biscochitos on hoildays and special occasions was because certain spices were rare and had to be imported from Spain. Ships aways arrived on the coast of Mexico prior to Christmas.
