Comparing Thanksgiving, New Years, And Los Tres Reyes Magos
Traditions my family and I have during the holidays is Thanksgiving, Christmas also combined with my Catholic beliefs, New Years, and Los Tres Reyes Magos. On Thanksgiving, what we normally do is go to my aunt's house and each member brings a dish. My parents are always in charge of making tamales and a homemade dessert. We eat tamales, pozole, pumpkin pie and champurrado. On Christmas we do sort of the exact thing on what we tend to eat but we go and wait till the clock hit 12 then we have a baby statue of Jesus and we place him in a little bed. When we put the doll in the bed it represents that Jesus was just born and we would kiss the doll in the head and we celebrate his birthday with the food and gathering and besides that, we pass down our Christmas presents.

I would hand each person a cup with 12 grapes and apple cider because it´s a tradition we always do or what I tend to keep since I´m basically the only one who believes in it. We eat the same food and when its New Years we then eat our grapes, say our wishes and we hug each other and say,¨Feliz Anos Nuevo¨ and our parents would say ¨Te amo.¨ Later after all the hugging, we do what we were doing and hang out with our cousins because it´s only in special occasions when they come. It´s also a tradition to celebrate Los Tres Reyes Magos. I don´t know much about it but what I do know is that it involved three men bringing goods to Jesus when he was just born that was food, gold, and something else. We would buy this beautiful, long bread that looks like an oval ring and inside has some dolls. My family and I would each get our half and we wait till someone ends up with a plastic white doll because when someone has a doll they have to do something for the family like make food on the next
