Celebrating Christmas

12/26/2012

In our house traditions are very important. We are bicultural, bilingual family, so we have different ways of celebrating.

For Christmas, we have the Colombian traditions: Nativity, Baby Jesus and opening presents on the 24th at midnight. For the American tradition, there is toys from Santa and the celebration on the 25th.

It is nice to see my son is enjoying both traditions and actually requests that we continue doing them.

We also believe that:Time with you is the best gift you can give your children this holiday. Children need presence more than presents.

How do you celebrate Christmas at your house?

Se ve que los dos reyes de la casa disfrutaron al maximo de sus regalos :)
Nosotros tambien mezclamos varias tradiciones, abrimos regalos en la nochebuena y otros en la Navidad. Comemos platos tipicos de Colombia y Estados Unidos y con la musica pasa igual.

Enjoyed seeing the WHOLE family with their gifts. Being CubanAmerican we also celebrate the two days PLUS Los Reyes in January. You can never have too many reasons to party right? ; )
