Our family faces the dilemma to not being able to face our holidays in our normal holiday retreat and also have to worry about the fact that there is a lot of things that my family cooks that have Mexican ingredients as many families in Mexico face the same dilemma. Many of our foods are not traditional American family foods. We enjoy the eating of tamales, menudo, posole, cabrito, bacalao and of course we like aguacate in our food but that is not the end of the world. Even though these foods will not taste the same or be the same like these use too, we are going to have to put our effort to the max in order for our family to feel the most at home as they came. 

This holidays we will try to adapt to the new traditions without letting that be an obstacle for having a great time with family and friends. The person we are trying to mostly feel at home is my grandmother because she cannot believe that we are not going to have our traditional family party. In fact we had to really beg her and tell her that she would be able to gut the goat and cook it outside if she please just let agree to doing the get together in the US soil home. This year will be extremely special because we must start a new tradition because we do not know how long this bad spell is going to continue. Even though we are going to have to change and be content with certain replacement of things we are still going to be extremely grateful that our family is together and happy. All multicultural people that celebrates their family holidays in parts of Mexico should be open to the idea of applying new traditions to their celebration in order to rekindle the joy. I am pretty sure it affects them as it affects me and my family not being able to celebrate our holidays the way we are used to, but if you see the positive outcome of this we can all have a mixture of new traditions and the family together.
