My Dad, who was born in 1910 and raised in Alabama, also enjoyed tamales as if they were a tradition. In some old family papers from the late 19th century, there are receipts for the purchase of oysters and oranges at Christmas time. A once a year, special treat. I would assume tamales were also a throwback to some old memories of his.
