The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

                This time of the year is literally my favorite out of the whole year (including my birthday). From Thanksgiving all the way till New Years, it is the most wonderful and most looked forward time in my family. And it’s not what you all must think: family is coming over from all over the place or we go over to some else’s house, no. For us it tends to be a little more intimate, we pretty much stick to each other, like going shopping, hanging the decorations, and cooking together. 

                Food is a very big deal when it comes to the holidays and for us its double trouble because we mix the traditional American food as well as festive Mexican food since I’m Mexican. Sorry if the next couple of lines get you a little hungry. We, and when I say we it pretty much means me, cook pretty much the whole day in order for everything to be ready for dinner time on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. On the American side we make the stuffed turkey, the ham, mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, homemade oatmeal cookies, and store bought pumpkin pie. Now on the Mexican side we make posole, tamales, ponche, and store bought pan dulce. We have the biggest feast that we can’t wait to dig in. There was so much food last year that the whole family even took a walk around the block because we were so full. And the best part is that the left over last us for almost a week. 

        

                Yes it is pretty much all about the food in my house but we also have things we look forward during this time. For example my brother, sister, and I tend to go to Union Square and go ice skating, also going Christmas shopping, decorating the inside and outside of the house, and last but not least watching the Victoria’sSecret Fashion show. I know what you’re thinking it’s all about the hot babes and this blogger must be a dued, but no I’m a girl and I like watching it because of the cute new lingerie designs, the creativity that the catwalk has, the performers, and yes ok the cute girls. Also during the holidays there are two shows that I hope to see in person one day and they are the Thanksgiving Day Parade and the ball dropping in New Years in New York City. Lastly, we leave one weekend open to go somewhere like Reno, or Las Vegas, but this year were going to go to Disneyland. I couldn't be any happier because I have gone to Disney plenty of times, but during the summer so I’m excited to see how they decorate for the winter I hear it looks like a winter wonderland (fingers crossed). Well this is what this season is going to consist of for me; I hope it all goes good. And happy holidays!
