If you are Mexican, these are 10 things you know all too well during the holiday season, or even regularly.

1. "¿Ya saludaste?" ~ "Have you greeted everyone?"

And usually, you have. But there are those instances in which you have not and you turn to your mom (the person usually remarking on this) and think to yourself, "Why are you calling me out, man?" Then you make your rounds and by the time you're done it seems as if an eternity has passed by. Having a big family has its downfalls sometimes.

2. "¿Me vas a ayudar o que?" ~ "Are you going to help me or what?"

If you're a girl in a Mexican family, then you're always expected to help whether it be cooking or cleaning. You're never allowed to just sit down and relax because someone will give you a reality check almost instantly.

3. "¿Y que vamos a comer?" ~ "And what are we going to eat?

Is that even a question? Around this time of the year posole and tamales seem to come by the bucketful.

4. "Come, mija!" ~ "Eat, sweetie!"

Your grandma will always try and fill you up with food, even if you just ate a full plate. There are no limits. Ever.

5. "¿Quien trajo esos niños?" ~ "Who brought those kids?"

At almost every family event, there will always be those little kids that are viewed as "brats." They're constantly screaming, running and jumping around. The older you get, the more annoying they become. Reminder: you were once this kid.

6. "¿Y para el postre?" ~ "And for dessert?"

Atole, arroz con leche, empanadas de piña, buñuelos, champurrado. Do you have a sweet tooth, yet?

7. "¿Hay cerveza?" ~ "Is there beer?"

A fridge in a Mexican household will always be stocked. Stocked with alcohol, of course. No event can go celebrated without a case of beer, bottle of wine or mixed drink.

8. "No se puede llegar sin nada." ~ "We can't show up empty-handed."

Showing up to a family party empty-handed is a no-no. Everyone always shows up with either a side dish, main dish, dessert or drinks. Sometimes all four!

9. "¿No te acuerdas de mi?" ~ "You don't remember me?"

There's always that ONE Tia/Tio, Prima/Primo, etc. at the family festivities. You know the one I'm talking about. At least once in your lifetime, if you're lucky, your mom or grandma will introduce you to a long lost tia (aunt) and ask the following, "Do you remember your aunt? You met her when you were six years old." NO, MOM. I barely remember what I did yesterday.

10. "¿Oye, ya tienes novio/a?" ~ "Hey, do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend already?"

Claro que no! (Of course not!) Or at least that's your response when you're in grammar school and high school. It's almost as if your parents put whomever is asking you up to this question in order to catch you in a lie. And this question only gets worse as you get older. It evolves from, "do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet?," to, "are you engaged yet?"

11. "Puro Pari!" ~ "Pure Party!"

The family party may start at 6 p.m., but it doesn't end until the sun comes up. Or that's what it feels like sometimes when you're yawning and ready for bed, but that one aunt and uncle refuse to leave.
