tradition, what is tradition, well for me it is a

series of customs that each person has, depending

on the thought and beliefs, such as religion or
even culture.

In my perspective I think I’m a traditional person

and it is due to the culture and religion in which
my family raised me. That means that I’m catholic
and a 100% Colombian.

So, with what I mention, I think it’s time to

present me and my family traditions.

All of this began when I was born, in first place

my mom had a very complicated pregnancy and
when I was born it was a kind of miracle. That’s
why they call me Maria Jose, because a catholic
name, also I must have to mention that I born the
day of the carmen virgin.

Also, because we are catholic, we used to go to

church every Sunday and have catholic
ceremonies, like weddings, first communion or
confirmation. Continuing with these traditions, I
already made my first communion, my
confirmation and one day I want to get married.

On the other hand, as for my 100% Colombian

side, we like to be very traditional, for example
during Christmas festivities we pray the novenas,
we eat buñuelos and natilla.

On December 24, we always wait until midnight

to receive the niño jesus and open the gifts. We do
the same on December 31 with the difference that
right at midnight we throw lentils, we eat 12
grapes and with each of these we make a wish.
And finally my favorite tradition is my birthday, I
always celebrate it with my family and fiends, I
choose a diferent restauran every year and
celebrate it big.
