Your Hispanic Traditions
How You Keep Latino Culture Going!

Which one is your favorite, beloved, crazy, unique or interesting Latino tradition? Which one do you practice at home? Is there one that reminds you of your mama or makes you think "here comes tio Tito with his secret seasoning for the roasted pig".

There are many traditions I grew up with but interestingly enough I gravitate to the same ones, celebrating "La Navidad," cooking "bandeja Paisa," and singing Spanish songs to my son.

Maybe for you it is the "fiesta de Reyes," the burning of the old year's doll every 31 of December after you have had your "palitos," the displaying of the collection of nativities (typical in Colombia), the Day of the Dead altar you make every year or the pupusa making on Sundays...

We all find a way to enjoy, laugh and hold on to some of our traditions, So...

We cook "frijoles con chorizo" at least twice a month, my friend Jenny does a "Christmas novena" every year, my friend Paula and her husband teach Spanish to their girls at home, etc. We all have "our way" to keep Latino traditions going! What is yours?
