He stumbled down the stairs, nearly knocking over my uncle 's christmas tree, as he entered the cramped living room. My parents didn’t tell my brother and I that “Santa Claus” would be at the Wise’s christmas party. If they had, I would…

while in preparation for this day people make family traditions on who gets to put the star on top of the tree to Christmas caroling. It’s a day that every kid waits up all night trying to hold back from closing her eyes to catch a glimpse of the Santa Clause. The waking up and ignoring the cold floor as walking across in a blanket still wearing pajamas and the whiff of pine clarifying its Christmas. People look forward to Christmas as an opportunity for a religious purpose and to come together…

At my form’s Christmas party, my secret Santa brought a shimmering star, filled with an expensive perfume that smells of burned sugar, melting caramel and snow. Someone put a thought into this, took my name literal, in a nice way. I look around, check the faces, smooth images with only names attached: I cannot tell. Tessa and I exchange our presents later, while drinking mulled wine and Whams! Last Christmas is playing for the fifths time. The main lecture hall is dipped in red and fairy lights…

worked because it was the adults who controlled the timing of events and they made sure to take their time. Once they finally finished eating and cleaning up, the fun part for my young child mind was about to begin.

I know that the only way that I could explain a culture is to explain one that I already know well enough. Mexican culture is a culture that is closely related to me because my family comes directly from Mexico. My parents have greatly influenced my Mexican culture. Mexican culture has a wide variety of festivities, foods, traditions, and dances. Important holidays celebrated in Mexico…

4th of July we go to see fireworks. My brother and I growing up also believed in Santa and the Easter Bunny. My family and I have many traditions, but these are just a few. Would I have still had these traditions if my family situation was different? Maybe I would have, but maybe I wouldn’t have. It’s possible that my parents may not have believed in letting us think there was such things as an Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. We may not have obtained the chance of painting eggs or eating cinnamon…
