We all know there ainât no party like a Latino holiday party âcause a Latino holiday party doesnât stop đ And from a cold glass of coquito to staying up until 3 AM, we know a Latino party when we see one đ SoâŠwhich of these holiday Hispanicisms can you relate to? đđœ
While other people celebrate on Christmas day, weâre recovering from Noche Buena the night before đŽ And after 12 tasty grapes on NYE at midnight đ which symbolize 12 lucky months ahead, we still have el DĂa de los Reyes Magos and a delicious rosca to look forward to đ„ł
Aside from the classic âFeliz Navidadâ by JosĂ© Feliciano, we expect to hear many other versions đ¶Â On NYE, our family spends the whole morning cleaning the house. After all, a clean slate starts with a clean home âš And donât forget to pick your underwear color wisely đ
Beans or rocks? Either way, a late-night round of LoterĂa (or five!) is a must during the holidays đ€©Â And when an army of tĂas come over for a tamalada in preparation of the festivities, you already know theyâre going to be on point đđŸ
What is eggnog anyway? Our holiday drink of choice is rompope, ponche crema, or coquito đ€€ Donât even get us started on las Posadas on Noche Buena đ when we recreate Maryâs journey to find a place to give birth, and showcase our musical skills to our neighbors đ
