Family Tradition (Bad version)

It is well know that every country has its own tradition, but today I want to tell you something more particular about traditions. A family tradition depends on each family behavior, my family´s tradition it´s more common than others because it´s Christmas that is an international tradition, but every family in the world has its own way to celebrate this holiday.

We are four sons in my family, two girls and two boys, but we have been separated since my older brother got married and he went to live in Oaxaca, now my two sisters have been living in Matamoros with my parents and I´ve been living in Puebla since I began the University two years ago , despite that we make an effort travelling to Tamaulipas. It is more difficult to my older brother because he is already married with Mary and they have two beautiful daughters, Amy and Daila.

When we arrive to Tamaulipas the first thing that we do is to hug each other strongly because this is the first day in the year that we see our faces together. Commonly when we travel to Tamaulipas is by car or bus, so it´s a tradition that the first day we didn't want to get sit just to stand up until we rest. Vania and Floreli, my sisters, are very nice that they use to give their rooms to the visits and that´s good for me because since I lived at Puebla I don't have a room in Matamoros.

At the time of cook the dinner for the Christmas all of us help to prepare the food, for example, the women cook the turkey and other thing and the men clean the dishes. At 22 o´clock we began the dinner, the most important thing is pray, once we pray we began to eat, at that time we can chat about the most import thing in the year that is ending, at the end of the dinner we prefer to play any game or just watch a movie.

It´s incredible how just 5 days with your family can reload your strength and encourage you to do your best in the year that begins. Our family always tries to continue in contact along the year but nothing compares to the feel of seeing your family together.
