Multicultural Family Christmas Traditions

Well, folks, today's Christmas Eve. Tonight, I'm going with the fam to a local Mexican restaurant. It's a tradition we started when we lived in Texas. A major holiday custom in Latino culture is to have a progressive dinner. That's a deal where each course of the holiday meal is partaken of in a different person's home. I grew up in a diverse Disciples of Christ church in which we adapted some of the seasonal customs of the Catholic church. For example, we lit Advent candles. Also, a church member would add one figure to the Nativity scene at a time, with the Baby Jesus being added last on Christmas Eve. Accordingly, Felize Navidad, y'all!
