Valeen Montenegro’s family tradition

How are you celebrating the holidays this year?

It’s a family tradition to just stay at home during the holidays, especially on New Year’s Day, because that’s also my dad’s birthday.

My brother is in Spain, so we would Skype with him while we eat noche buena and media noche. People ask me what gift I want, and I actually don’t know. I guess that’s a good thing.

It means I’m contented with what I have. —MARINEL R. CRUZ
