The best Christmas memory the author had was celebrating at their Uncle Jose's farm when they were 20 years old. They helped decorate the house and prepare a New Year's dinner with foods like lechona (stuffed pork), buñuelos (cheesy fritters), and natilla (custard). On New Year's Eve, the family danced, sang, got drunk, and burned an effigy called "año Viejo" stuffed with fireworks at midnight before making toasts to celebrate the new year.

I was 20 years old and on that occasion we celebrated it together with my family at my uncle jose's farm. We all participated in the decoration of the house and the preparation of the New Year's dinner on December 31st. I helped prepare the lechona (pork stuffed with rice and peas) and the others made buñuelos (cheesy fritters) and natillla (which is a set custard.) we were dancing, singing and we got drunk. Last but not least, at midnight we burn a human- sized rag doll stuffed with fireworks, we call it “año Viejo” We toast with aguardiente and wish everybody a “happy new year.” 1-How many days did you have on Christmas vacation? I was on vacation for a week. 2-Why was the best Christmas vacation? That was the best Christmas and New Year's Eve party, because it was the first time I was celebrating outside the city. What activity did you do most often? I stayed all day in the pool What was the typical Christmas food that you liked the most? without a doubt the “lechona"
