All of my generation get together every year and make sugar cookies. It’s been going on since I was a child, and now we are mostly adults and our own children do it with us.

We are making all of our gifts to each other this year. I decided this out of necessity but I think out of the real meaning of Christmas, we will do this every year.

At Amuma’s ( grandmas) house each year my children and their children make a homemade gift for the person that they draw for. We have been doing it for about 8 years now and everyone really enjoys seeing what each person comes up with each year. Even the babies have to make a gift ( with help of course). We take pictures so we can remember what each person has made throughout the years. Some presents are huge others are small but they all are very meaningful and something that each one of us can charish throughtout the year. and may last a lifetime.

Our family works together to make and package handmade tin tinsel to give as gifts. It is a fun tradition and it’s always nice to hear people talk about how much they love it each year when they hang it on their tree!

We make cookies and candy for all of our teachers and for the neighbors. We want to give them something that we made for them, but that they don’t have to find something to do with like that unidentifiable pottery project the kids made : )

Our family gathered around the table 3 days before Christmas and made tamales. We made enough to feed our family, relatives, and cousins for days!!!.
They were and still are delicious! My mother is 85 and still makes tamales!

At school we usually learn about winter holidays from various cultures. I enjoy doing the legend of the poinsettia and making poinsettias out of paper with my class. They look beautiful mounted on black paper and the students get to try out some new sounds with the Spanish words from the books.

My 2 children have a total of 4 cousins. We do a gift exchange among the children where all gifts are handmade by the children themselves. Last year our gifts were pillowcases with my son choosing the fabric and helping me with the sewing (my daughter was only 2 so she put the pins back in the pin cushion as we went along). This year we are using potholder looms to weave potholders and sew them together to make things (a small purse, a placemat etc.). The added element this year is that we purchased undyed wool loops and are dying them ourselves. My 3 year old is very into painting so she is painting a picture for each cousin. The children have treasured the gifts they received from their cousins but even more the experiences of making gifts for giving.
