Traditions
I love the traditions that we do in my family for Christmas and Christmas Eve. So for dinner in Christmas Eve, we have this soup from Mexico called Pozole. Then after we eat the soup, we open one present from Santa and it is always pajamas. We wear them to bed and all the kids pick a room that we want to build our fort in and we get all the blankets in the house and put them in a pile and sleep on it. On Christmas morning we go wake up our parents and we line up in their bedroom, youngest to oldest and walk down the stairs. Santa always leaves our presents out unwrapped so that we can just walk down and see them. And after we have looked at our presents from Santa, we move on to the presents from our family. We used to buy a gift for everybody for five dollars but it got hard to do that because we're older now and its hard to buy under five dollars. And so now we just buy gifts for the three people that were younger than you for ten dollars. Anyways, we open one at a time from oldest to youngest. And once we are all done, we just do what ever we want the whole day, besides play with friends. We don't even get a big breakfast, Santa brings us our favorite kind of cereal and we just eat that. I don't think we even have a dinner, but that's all right because we are having to much fun to come and eat dinner!
