1.) You greet the ENTIRE FAMILY with HUGS AND KISSES!

You as soon as that door is opened you see cousins or aunts you haven't seen in years or the neighbor down the street, but regardless you greet them! You get hand cramps from your uncle shaking your hand hard or the smell of perfrume all over you!

2.) When your at the dinner table and some asks, "Y TU NOVIO o Y TU NOVIA?!"


Once everyone is gathered at the dinner table eating food, usually your tia or abuela asks about your relationship status. The older you get, the more frequent older you get, the more frequent this question comes up at the dinner table lol!

3.) Forget the turkey, HELLO HAM!


A Thanksgiving meal for Spanish people usually has some additional changes from the traditional dish such as having pig, rice or beans, and maybe for deserts some flan or other sweets.

4.) When the food is amazng and enjoying the holiday until you hear..

You:


When you getting judged for eating all of the delicious food served!!



5.) Getting on the DANCE FLOOR!


Spanish families love music and know how to get on the dance floor! Music will be blasting that you hear your someone at the party say, "Bachateame mama!!"

6.) Once the celebrations, the PARTY NEVER ENDS!


You are at the holiday party feeling tired and sleepy and you already ate all of the food you can find.. You wish is to go home! Usually your mom or family member gets caught in a conversation by saying, "Vamos ir en 10 minutos!" Those 10 minutes pass into hour and so on etc. that you might as well make yourself lucky!

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me.
