CHRISTMAS 2013
Christmas 2013 was not different from the last ones; their parents were divorced so they have a system that went like this: one year they spend Christmas with their dad and the next year they will spend it with their mom, and so. Last year it was dads turn, they lived in Morelia, but his father´s family was from Guadalajara so they will go there. In this family one of the girls the biggest one, name Mariana, was studying in Guadalajara so she had to come back; most of you may think “poor girl she´s returning to the same city, she´s not having vacations” but the love she had to her family was bigger than wanting vacations. The whole day went like this: she woke up like a regular day, get all her things done because she was leaving Morelia in the afternoon. She spent some time with her mom, their siblings were already gone with his dad, so she had it all for herself. They went to make some earrings and after that they went to eat something with Mariana ´s boyfriend to a place name Mikono is Japanese food. They wish each other merry Christmas and then Mariana went to his uncle house to get ready to leave. When she was already there his uncle´s was doing so many things that they finally get in road by 7.00 pm. The highway was alone, it was dark and the girl was starting to feel desperate and bored. When they finally arrived it was almost 11:00pm, the rest of the family was ready and playing with some piñatas. She didn´t want to miss anything else of the night so she hurry up and get some decent clothes, she was ready. She gets down to help to set the table, they start serving the food, until it was all serve she could sit down and have a delicious meal; they had fettuccini with shrimp, the famous bacalao and some BBQ ribs. The time of the hug is not a tradition in the house, they are not very affective so they skipped that part and start playing games. They set 4 teams and start playing Pictionary ; it was very interesting because cousins of all ages were playing even the grandmother. The fames continue and they started playing charades, using the same teams. After several rounds the winner was team 4. The little ones were tired and waiting for Santa so they went to sleep, the older ones started to play beer pong and that didn´t go very well. After all the chatting (that was a lot, most of all discussions) and playing everybody was happy and also a little drunk, the girl went to sleep but the night in grandma´s house was n ´t finished. It was the first Christmas in which she saw all the family stick together and have fun, it was really amazing.
