It is Holiday time again!!! I have not been on this site ( reading it as an outsider didn't count) all that long but I am wondering what are your Christmas traditions. Did you bring any traditions from home? Is there something you do every year ( drinking not a tradition ok). For me I go to mass Christmas Eve after la cena de la Noche Buena ( spanish may not be correct ). Most everyone I have visited in the last week has their Christmas Tree up but I will wait until after Thanksgiving ( back from the US ) to put ours up.I will buy the usual grapes and apples and the mama juana ( inlaws bring this ). And of course listen to my father in-law tell stories from back in the day ( yes this is after a few tragos of rum). And then listen to " Grandma got run over by a reindeer " only to hear the kids ( son, sabrinas and sabrinos ) put their own spin to it. Something like " abuela got run over by a burro/vaca ). Ok so my family is crazy. But really what traditions do you have....
