Memorable Family Tradition:

I remember celebrating Christmas Eve with my whole family at my grandma’s house. Her house was always fully decorated - there was a big tree with lots of presents and a big nativity scene. My grandma took us all to church for the midnight mass and then back home. We celebrated with a toast, fireworks, food, and presents.
