    How To Survive Christmas With A Latino Family

    You better be prepared.

    Christmas with a Latino Family is something you'll never forget

    1. First, the food....

    There'll be things there you've only seen in Telenovelas.

    So make sure you take a few of these before dinner.

    2. Language Barriers...

    Just remember this words and you'll be fine...

    3. Find a Safe Zone

    But don't ever go to the kitchen...

    4. Learn about the family's culture

    5. Start listening to Latin Music.....

    6. Get ready for an hour or two, or three of "La Virgencita de Guadalupe"

    The only way out of this, is to learn how to sleep with your eyes open.

    7. Posadas!!!

    There's only one thing that matters.

    8. Make sure you buy something for "El Intercambio"

    A hispanic tradition where you buy stuff for another relative that makes no sense at all.

    Just remember those things and you'll survive a Christmas Latino Party, I promise.
