Christmas is coming soon.. is the season of gathering with the family and share special moments. As the years gone by is getting more difficult to keep Latin Traditions this days.
As a puertorican living in Florida is been challenging. My family celebrated Santa Claus on the 25th and The Three Kings Day on the 6th, last year my son had class on the sixth, I didn't send him to school because I want him to celebrated this day, but I started to analyzing about this issue.
Last Christmas my son told me that he was worry that the Three Kings where not going to know his new address since we just move to Florida and that he told his friends about the Three Kings and nobody celebrated that day in the USA.
I explain to him that every country has different traditions and that he was born in Puerto Rico and we celebrated this day every year and that now matter where he goes the Three Kings will always follow him that it was very important to always celebrated this day as a memory of the special moments when the Three Kings visited Jesus Christ to bring him gifts as a sign of celebration for his Nativity.
My message to all the Latin Mom's is that now matter where you go always celebrate you traditions because if you don't keep them alive ... Who will ???
