Christmas is my favorite holiday tradition! I have 2 brothers and a sister. I love it when the whole family gathered at my parents home including husbands, wifes, children, grandchildren and friends. It is a kind of a family reunion. Everybody arrives on the 24th of December. Each brother or sister brings his/her favorite recipe, in that way my parents will not spend so much time in the kitchen preparing the food. Then we will go together to the midnight mass to thank GOD for all the blessings we all received and after the mass we will have that big midnight diner.
After the diner, we will gather around the christmas tree for the gifts. Everyone has to describe the one he is giving the gift and that someone has to guess it's him. Then there is games, dancing and singing until dawn.
This coming christmas, my family are really looking forward to it. We are all coming home (a total of 25 persons) and we will see the whole family again around the christmas tree after 23 years:)!
