Five aunts and three uncles from the first family. Not including their kids and
Their grandchildren. My family is big, loud and just plain fun to be with during the
Holidays.
Christmas is always something to look forward to in our home. The younger ones get more pressies. While the older ones slave in the kitchen cooking their specialty dishes for noche Buena. A favorite specialty dish in our home is barbecue that the men have mastered. Its really simple, they take slabs of meat, grill the for fifteen minutes maximum on charcoal and it tastes really nice. The aroma fills the entire garden of my granny’s ancestral home where we hold our Christmas celebrations often. Everyone has their own tasks and assignments. For instance the wives of my three uncles would be in charge of dessert, while my aunties would be in charge of the meals. The Christmas hassle is the best part since people start to remember that they forgot something in their houses. It’s hilarious since they’re all so stressed out yet they can feel the warmth of the season because of everyone being close together.
Beer is an important part of our family tradition, and is every form of alcoholic beverage that makes the women all red and giggly and the men sweaty and louder. We drink beer with barbecue alongside my grandmother’s famous potato salad and coleslaw. Indeed it is the season to add more jelly in the belly/
That’s why I love the holidays, I can well do without the excess fat I gain from it but it brings me together with my loved ones with great food and heavenly like desserts. I enjoy and look forward to the company I get from it every Christmas. Happy Holidays everyone!
