Hi, I’m Tuity the Tootsie Pop. Would you like to know the story of my life? Well, here I go. I start as a blob of corn syrup and other sugars, I’m liquid and hot. A big cold drip of cherry flavoring goes right onto my face. This is my favorite part, I get shaken and twisted to cool down. I go up and down and get twisted 360 degrees.

A tradition in the Republic, is an Aguinaldos; an informal party at home. The people at the party sing traditional Christmas songs and eat Christmas foods, such as Puerco asado.

"If Candlemas Day be bright and clear, there'll be two winters in the year.” according to an old British saying. So what does this have to do with believing in good ol’ Phil’s prediction? Well, for the same reason why people still believe in Santa Claus, just choosing to believe without any doubt just brings animation to the holiday! It’s just fun to believe in these so called “myths” just because it shines a sort of naïve innocence into our dim grown-up lives, let’s face it when we age we lose…

The angel at the top of our Christmas tree glistened as the tree was lit up. The lights were as if they were giving the tree a hug because of how it was wrapped.
