Once you get hitched the holidays become a negotiation. Unless you married an orphan, chances are you have to discuss which family you’ll be celebrating with. Thanksgiving is a toss-up; you can base it on which mother cooks better or you could do both—dinner at one place and dessert at the next. Now Christmas is the tricky one. As a Latino we do our partying on Christmas Eve while the 25th we stay home and play with any new gadgets we got the previous night. For me it’s even trickier because my father-in-law’s birthday is on Dec. 24th.
Even though it’s the guy’s born day we still split up Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. The wife always tries to guilt-trip me by saying it’s her daddy’s birthday. While I’m thinking, “It’s baby Jesus’ bday also.” But we stick to the plan and we alternate holidays at different homes. This year I’ll get to see my lil nieces open their presents and get to kiss my wife as the Times Square ball drops in front of the in-laws. Plus, there’s a possibility that the wife, sis-in-law and her parents want to go clubbing afterwards. Oh, the joy! What’s your holiday plan with your mate?
Uno,
Jesus
