Many families have different traditions for Christmas. Many families use a Christmas tree and have assorted decorations, but not all families have the same traditions. My family likes having a Christmas tree and decorating it with lights and ornaments and a star at the very top. We also like to decorate the outside of our house with as many lights as we can have, so our house can be nice and decorated for the holiday, because during the month of December many trollies pass by, full of people looking at all the brightly decorated houses. With the trollies coming by every year, my family and my neighbors have formed a tradition so that when we hear the bell chimes of a trolley we all come out and wish all the people on board a Merry Christmas.
Many people have various traditions for Christmas dinners. My family, mainly my mom, likes making tamales for Christmas. Since my family is Guatemalan, tamales are something that my mom likes to make, and that I sometimes help make as well. My dad on the other hand likes to make his favorite punch which he makes mostly every Christmas. It is made of apples, prunes, cinnamon, pineapple, and brown sugar.
Another tradition that my family and I have is that instead of opening our presents on Christmas Day, on Christmas Eve we all wait until it is midnight to open our presents.
Many families share some of these traditions and some have different ones, but every family has its own unique traditions.
