My Mom knows exactly when we need and don't need medical attention since she knows us so well. She knows right away when something is normal or abnormal in us because of how we act. She knows we don't need medical attention when she doesn't hear me whine about being in pain.

Yes, my family does self-diagnose. If your stomach is burning they assume it is gastritis caused by all the spicy food you eat. If my Mom sees me upset for a day or two she automatically thinks I am depressed.

El Dia de la Virgen de Guadalupe
(Day of the Virgin Mary)
El Dia de la Virgen de Guadalupe is a religious feast day celebrated annualy on December 12. This holiday honors Our lady of Guadalupe, a Catholic Saint. Since my family is Catholic, we celebrate this.
Holiday & Tradition
The Celebration
Each year, thousands of religious people from all over the country travel to the Basilica of Guadalupe, a large church located in Mexico City, to lay their eyes on La Virgen. Despite being an important religious feast day, the Dia de la Virgen de Guadalupe is also a festive and joyful holiday. While most people will spend at least a few hours in church, they will also set off fireworks, march in parades and attend live musical performances.
What do we do for the celebration?
For a long time, Mexicans worshipped the Virgin of Guadalupe as the queen of Mexico, displaying her picture on flags during the Mexican Wars of Independence and the Mexican Revolution. The story of the virgin has become an important part of the country’s history and lore, as well as a vital cornerstone of the citizens’ Catholic faith. As tradition has it, Juan Diego, a Native American living at the time of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, was visited by an apparition of the Virgin Mary on December 9, 1531. In his vision, he was told to build a giant church exactly where he stood. Today, this is where the Basilica of Guadalupe is located.
La Basilica Background
In particular, bunuelos are commonly eaten during this feast day, sold by the dozen from street vendors or cooked up in a family’s kitchen. These delicious treats consist of thin layers of buttery pastry topped with a rich and gooey honey syrup.

Christmas
Christmas is my favorite holiday because I have always celebrated Christmas in Mexico. On the 24th(Noche Buena), we get to go to each house and visit Nacimientos, which is Mexican nativity scenes that possess a charm of their own. When you visit, you must kiss Baby Jesus to recieve a baggie with candy. At my grandma's house we love to make a very big nacimiento since my grandma always loved making the naciemiento big and colorful.
