Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I can't believe how fast time has gone. This year I only had enough money to buy my parents gifts but surely I can start buying for my family next year when I get a job. I bought my dad two DVDs and my mom a nice silver necklace and earring set. Christmas eve is when my dad's side of the family gets together, eats tamales (which I have to help my grandma make) and open presents at midnight. On Christmas morning we will go to my sis's house and open up the rest of the presents there. We then go to Reynosa and even though my mom side doesn't celebrate Christmas we get together because it's my grandpa's birthday and one thing about Mexico is a lot of illegal fireworks there so the house is always shaking when a paloma goes off (that's a newspaper shaped in a triangle and filled with gunpowder I think...) So everyone Happy Holidays!
