My Hispanic Christmas
Christmas is Near
Getting Ready
Every year, we have to decide where to celebrate Christmas. This year we're still planning. This year, my older sister will be coming to my house, we were expecting my older brother to come but he has other plans. My dad, sister, and I already put up my Christmas tree and have presents. Like every year, we are planning to have a big feast and after that go to other relatives house, my family is very important to me they are always there to cheer me up. Last year me and my sister got to put up all the decorations on the tree.
Christmas tree
Every year my dad, sister, me, and sometimes my mom put up my Christmas tree, but we wait about a week or two to put up the star.
Christmas decorations
Every year me and my sister get to choose the best decorations and put them on the tree. Me and my sister always fight to put the first orientation on the tree.
Christmas star
Every year me and my sister have wait so long to put up the star but it's like a traditional thing because we don't wanna put it up all the way.
Food
My mom, might be making tamales. My aunt, might bring tostadas, tortillas, and maybe even Posole. Every year, I always try to be close by the kitchen or else it'll be gone when I go look for food. I think that tamales are really yummy and most of the time really healthy. My community is like no other community, it has lots of ups and downs, but like my grandma always told me, their is always a way to be better and never give up.
Tostadas
Crunchy tortillas, with beans, sour cream, avacodos, and lettuce.
Posole
Chicken, lettuce, radish (optional)
Tamale
Chicken or corn or vegetable filling.
