Speaker 1: memories and how you know how I want to make.
Speaker 2: Christmas special for my daughters.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Christmas, what it means to me,
Speaker 1: what I wanted to mean for my girls, how having
Speaker 1: my daughters have changed my perspective on Christmas. How you
Speaker 1: know family, what family means to me and during Christmas times.
Speaker 2: And I also want to know about your experiences.
Speaker 1: Please let me know, how has Christmas been for you
Speaker 1: throughout these years? What would you like to do that
Speaker 1: you haven't done? What are the best memories the worst memories?
Speaker 1: If you guys have any like special routines, uh that
Speaker 1: you guys do?
Speaker 2: I want to know.
Speaker 1: Also, every different Latino culture we celebrate Christmas differently, and
Speaker 1: we all have our own thing, right, because I know
Speaker 1: that Puerto Ricans have the au and their casala, that
Speaker 1: good stuff. You know, in La Republicamnicana we've been eating
Speaker 1: platinos all the time, that mesa.
Speaker 2: We have our traditions, right.
Speaker 1: They go knocking on your door and they come and
Speaker 1: they sing like it's a very it's a very Caribbeanish energy.
Speaker 1: There's people over social media planning their decorations, shame what
Speaker 1: they're gonna be doing for the holidays, and the stories.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I love going to social media and watching the happiness
Speaker 1: that people feel during the Christmas season. I truly love that.
Speaker 1: And in the Hispanic culture, Christmas is a really big deal.
Speaker 1: It's like it's a big thing, and we even celebrate
Speaker 1: the Three Kings the day in January and for most
Speaker 1: Latin homes that's the day that the kids you know,
Speaker 1: get their presence, which is different from the American culture.
Speaker 2: Anyways, with that being said, I really just want to
Speaker 2: talk about my experience. Okay. I know this is a
Speaker 2: beautiful thing.
Speaker 1: I know that I see on social media and everybody's
Speaker 1: loving the Christmas spirit ioo im.
Speaker 2: But I am the grin of Christmas? Is it just me?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I just come't gay. I don't feel it.
Speaker 1: I don't mean I think I'm gonna I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: it all the way back until my my my traumas,
Speaker 1: my childhood traumas. So during the holidays for the most part,
Speaker 1: my mom as a single mom, as an immigrant in
Speaker 1: this country and us not having any family here. My
Speaker 1: mom was always working. I guess that's where I got
Speaker 1: my you know, being a workaholic from. My mom was
Speaker 1: always working during the holidays, and she never really celebrated
Speaker 1: Christmas with me. I was always home by myself. I
Speaker 1: always knew to lock the door, don't open the door
Speaker 1: for anybody, you know, unless I tell you it was
Speaker 1: me or whatever. My mom would sometimes, you know, let
Speaker 1: me go to her friends' houses and stuff like that
Speaker 1: so that I could spend Christmas with their family. Because
Speaker 1: she had to work, or in many occasions, my mom would.
Speaker 2: End up taking me to her job.
Speaker 1: And because my mom was a cook, I would end
Speaker 1: up having to you know, sit down and not you
Speaker 1: know a little acta or a little table inside the kitchen
Speaker 1: hot as hell while my mom was cooking, you know,
Speaker 1: and just cooking. And because my mom was a cook,
Speaker 1: and she would cook for all these you know, different
Speaker 1: activities for like, for example, Christmas, those people that didn't
Speaker 1: want to cook, they.
Speaker 2: Would hire you know, where my mom used to work.
Speaker 1: At and then they would do a call me up
Speaker 1: or leave it like by the pound.
Speaker 2: So she was cooking for hours and hours and days.
Speaker 1: And I just remember that my holidays really growing up
Speaker 1: was my mom working.
Speaker 2: So I kind of hated it because I hated.
Speaker 1: Seeing how everybody got to spend their family time, you
Speaker 1: know and Christmas together. They used to you know, play
Speaker 1: Domino and it was just the cokeuitha and everybody. Like
Speaker 1: I loved seeing other people do it. I just hate
Speaker 1: that I didn't have that myself. So I guess it
Speaker 1: growing up, I just grew up like being the Grinch,
Speaker 1: like I hate this holiday. And not to mentor the
Speaker 1: fact that now as an adult and even growing up
Speaker 1: after I understood what Christmas was about. Yeah, it's beautiful
Speaker 1: that you have all your family together and all this,
Speaker 1: but it's also kind of trash because it's a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of hypocrites. It's a whole bunch of the family
Speaker 1: who's being a hypocrite. You haven't been around and God
Speaker 1: knows how long, you know, you haven't called your tea,
Speaker 1: your theo.
Speaker 2: You're away and God.
Speaker 1: Knows how long, and all of a sudden, once a year,
Speaker 1: you want to show them all this love and affection,
Speaker 1: how much you love, and then you want to come
Speaker 1: with your phony ass gifts and all this stuff that
Speaker 1: you know you really don't mean. I can't generalize and
Speaker 1: say it's everyone. No, there's some families that are actually
Speaker 1: really tight. There's some families that are actually very close
Speaker 1: and they do have a real bond like that. But
Speaker 1: for the most part, when you do these big Christmas
Speaker 1: parties and your family comes together, I just hate the phoniness.
Speaker 1: I hate the I ain't kid, Oh my god, you're
Speaker 1: so big, or you're so curious, Oh you look like this.
Speaker 1: Knowing that in those parties ekwon no machi me i
Speaker 1: knowing that in those parties is when people gossip the most.
Speaker 2: You're looking at.
Speaker 1: Your uncle, you're looking at your aunt, you're looking at
Speaker 1: your niece, you're looking at your You're looking at all
Speaker 1: these people, like showing them all this up and affection.
Speaker 1: But within two point zero seconds, you're gonna turn around
Speaker 1: and you're gonna tell another family member some gossip about
Speaker 1: them or some I don't know, you're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: how they look, or how fat they've got in, or
Speaker 1: how her hair looks, trash or whatever.
Speaker 2: Is it me? I don't know, Maybe it's me.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm the one who hasn't lived good Christmas experiences, and.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm really really doing my best.
Speaker 1: To change that now as an adult, now, as a mother,
Speaker 1: and even now I see how I'm suffering because my
Speaker 1: daughters are only they're about to be two years old,
Speaker 1: and I have no Christmas decorations in my house. I
Speaker 1: know that they probably shouldn't, but then I feel like
Speaker 1: they don't even know what the hell is going on.
Speaker 1: So why do I have to do it? Not to
Speaker 1: mention the fact that it's such a like this is
Speaker 1: a business. Christmas is a business. You're out here spending
Speaker 1: all your money that you wouldn't spend through Friday. But
Speaker 1: you're gonna spend all this money buying all these people
Speaker 1: that you know you really don't give a damn about gifts.
Speaker 1: You went on the you went on the Amazon, you
Speaker 1: went on the on the Black Friday, and you bought
Speaker 1: as many cheap little things that you can get, just
Speaker 1: so that you don't feel guilty that you didn't give
Speaker 1: a present. I'm not saying everybody. I'm just talking about
Speaker 1: the experiences I have seen and lived, and you know
Speaker 1: I'm not lying, So I don't know. I just feel
Speaker 1: like you spend so much money buying this Christmas tree,
Speaker 1: and not just a Christmas tree. Now you have to
Speaker 1: spend all this money buying bolitas and stuff, all these
Speaker 1: little balls to put on the tree. I remember when
Speaker 1: I was when I first got pregnant, my mom put
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree up.
Speaker 2: It was the most beautiful Christmas tree I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: She didn't pink, and my mom had never in the
Speaker 1: history of my life as long as I can remember,
Speaker 1: ever ever, ever bought a Christmas tree. When I told
Speaker 1: her I was pregnant, she was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: oh this is the best Christmas she put the Christmas
Speaker 1: tree and let me tell you something, it wasn't until
Speaker 1: like the other day.
Speaker 2: Then Mommy put down the Christmas tree.
Speaker 1: Like the Christmas tree was up during summer, during a ball.
Speaker 2: Like the whole two years the.
Speaker 1: Christmas tree was up, and whenever she got tired of it,
Speaker 1: she would just come and add more different color balls.
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, what is going on? You do know
Speaker 2: you're only.
Speaker 1: Supposed to have this Christmas tree up to like January
Speaker 1: or something like that, right, which, by the way, when
Speaker 1: are you supposed to put the Christmas tree up?
Speaker 2: And when are you supposed to take it down?
Speaker 1: And don't say, on top of that, every year you
Speaker 1: have to change the color of the balls and the
Speaker 1: cutor of the decoration.
Speaker 2: Who's paying for all of this? So you're doing all
Speaker 2: of this for who? For yourself?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, that seems like too much work. Do
Speaker 2: I have problems? I the Omeo?
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the Grinch. But okay, I
Speaker 1: don't get it. I don't get it. I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my mom bought this Christmas Santa Claus
Speaker 1: Ruh with the bathroom toilet seat covers with the with
Speaker 1: the all the toilet accessories and the Christmas I.
Speaker 2: Said, ma'am, ma'am, don't do it. That is too much.
Speaker 1: I understand you want to fill in the spirit, but
Speaker 1: can you spill the spirit within yourself because this looks terrible,
Speaker 1: but it's supposed to bring people joy.
Speaker 2: Now I am trying to be a better person. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to be a better person for my daughters.
Speaker 1: I want to take them to the you know here
Speaker 1: in Miami they call it Centers and Centa's Forest where
Speaker 1: it's like a big you know park, you know, Christmas
Speaker 1: related and inspired take the girls there to enjoy that.
Speaker 1: I think that taking family pictures is so important. I
Speaker 1: feel that we've lost the essence of taking pictures. I
Speaker 1: love going back into the albums with the real pictures,
Speaker 1: even if they look if they look you know, crunchy
Speaker 1: and the color is fading. I love to see the
Speaker 1: original footage with no filter, with none of that. I
Speaker 1: love taking family pictures, and not only that, but printing them.
Speaker 1: I think is so important that this year I want
Speaker 1: to make it my mis to take pictures, print them
Speaker 1: out and do an album because later on those are
Speaker 1: the real memories you have. If God forbid your phone,
Speaker 1: your your iCloud, your Android r whatever, something would have
Speaker 1: happened in the system and the internet world, and all
Speaker 1: of it disappears and e rases. All your memories, everything
Speaker 1: you've ever accomplished, everything you've ever been or done completely
Speaker 1: will be deleted and gone. So that's why I think
Speaker 1: it's so important. That's what really matters to me this
Speaker 1: year is to print out family pictures of us spending
Speaker 1: time together.
Speaker 2: With their I mean I put a hand from me,
Speaker 2: meaning as with their with my mom.
Speaker 1: I want them to have pictures with their grandmother and
Speaker 1: print them out and have them on an album, and
Speaker 1: later on when they're like fifteen sixteen, they can go
Speaker 1: back and actually see those pictures. Those are real gifts
Speaker 1: to me, Those are real memories to me. You know
Speaker 1: that really matters to me. Christmas For the most part,
Speaker 1: I spend it home, no adult with my mom or
Speaker 1: by myself because I'm always working and it's not really
Speaker 1: like a thing for me. It's just another day in life.
Speaker 1: You also have to understand my point of view. I
Speaker 1: didn't grow up with any family, just with my mom
Speaker 1: and the family. Essence of what Christmas is was never
Speaker 1: something I grew up learning or understanding, so it hasn't
Speaker 1: been a thing for me. But I definitely wanted to
Speaker 1: be a thing for my daughters. I want them to
Speaker 1: have the fantasy and the you know, all those nice
Speaker 1: the childhood memories of Santa Claus and you know, the
Speaker 1: cookie next to the Christmas tree and all those things
Speaker 1: I've seen other cultures do. I want to be able
Speaker 1: to do that for them. Even though, like I said before,
Speaker 1: it's never been a thing for me.
Speaker 2: I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Put my childhood traumas you know, on my children. I
Speaker 1: want them to create their own and I want to
Speaker 1: do the best that I can to make sure that
Speaker 1: they enjoy these holidays because eventually they'll go to school,
Speaker 1: they'll have friends too, and they'll see, you know, what
Speaker 1: it's suppose to look like, what it's supposed to be.
Speaker 2: I never want them to feel like in my household,
Speaker 2: we don't do that. We don't have that.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do my best to involve them in there.
Speaker 1: You know, I know that my mother as well, She
Speaker 1: is doing her best to make.
Speaker 2: Sure that the girls feel the Christmas spirit. Like I said,
Speaker 2: for me, this is a business.
Speaker 1: Christmas is a business for you to spend your money,
Speaker 1: for you to spend as much as you can, not
Speaker 1: only in your house decre but buying dinner food.
Speaker 2: This that Christmas is such a good time for most business.
Speaker 1: Now let me ask you this, would you guys like
Speaker 1: better for Christmas to just be given some cash app
Speaker 1: or a gift card? I feel like you can't go
Speaker 1: wrong with that. Give me a gift card or give
Speaker 1: me cash ap, give me some cash app. Money sALS
Speaker 1: about right to me, because Yo, I know, I know,
Speaker 1: you know where I'm coming from. How many times I
Speaker 1: have a they giving you gifts that you didn't even
Speaker 1: want them in the first places, and you're just out
Speaker 1: of being courteous to get Oh my god, thank you.
Speaker 1: I love it knowing that you're just gonna throw that
Speaker 1: somewhere in the garage, in your closet, somewhere creating dust. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just saying all the things y'all have
Speaker 1: thought about but havn't said. Don't say, give me a
Speaker 1: little gift card or be like, you know, here's here's like,
Speaker 1: you know, one.
Speaker 2: Hundred dollars from cash app. I'm happy with that now,
Speaker 2: here's another thing.
Speaker 1: I also understand. You don't always have to give a
Speaker 1: gift some people. You know, this is tough out here
Speaker 1: in these streets. You may not have the money to
Speaker 1: be buying people gifts, and that's okay too. I think
Speaker 1: it's important to even express those things. Listen, I know
Speaker 1: it's the holidays. I really wish that I can. You
Speaker 1: know that I could have bought you something, but right
Speaker 1: now times of stuff I can.
Speaker 2: But I you know I am.
Speaker 1: I am sending you all prayers, positive energy one day
Speaker 1: whenever I can, I got you. That's that's also a
Speaker 1: gift because and honesty could also be a gift these days.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't mind if you don't have it,
Speaker 1: because in many occasions, I haven't had it as much
Speaker 1: as I've wanted to, I haven't had the money like
Speaker 1: that's a go buy you or anything.
Speaker 2: But am being in many occasions.
Speaker 1: As much as we may think that the gift is trash,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the positive side of things. Let's not
Speaker 1: be ungrateful and be grateful because nobody has to give
Speaker 1: you their hard earned money to buy you nothing. The
Speaker 1: fact that you got in your car or god knows
Speaker 1: how you got there to go to a store and
Speaker 1: buy something and think of me and give it to me.
Speaker 1: I am grateful for that. We also, as much as
Speaker 1: we want the Lue batons and the Gucci and now
Speaker 1: the expensive things for the Christmas, let's also take this
Speaker 1: moment to just talk about gratitude and being grateful for
Speaker 1: the things that we do receive during Christmas. Like them
Speaker 1: spoiled as little kids that be doing them tantrums when
Speaker 1: they don't like what they get. No nobody has to
Speaker 1: give you nothing, nobody Navida. If they do, it is
Speaker 1: because they came out of the goodness of their heart,
Speaker 1: even if it's just a Christmas card. Be grateful, Be
Speaker 1: grateful that somebody has even thought of you to even
Speaker 1: bother to give you something. Okay, because I think that
Speaker 1: in moments like this and the way that the world
Speaker 1: is moving, we really need to take moments to just
Speaker 1: be grateful for the things that we do have, for
Speaker 1: the things that we do receive, for the people that
Speaker 1: we do have in our lives. And that's another thing
Speaker 1: now during the Christmas holidays, as much as I hate it,
Speaker 1: because I feel like I do not be like a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of hate for kids in the family coming
Speaker 1: together to act all happy and then talk trash about
Speaker 1: you as soon as they get in the car and
Speaker 1: as soon as they get home, and then they wild
Speaker 1: tap little group chats and not a crap.
Speaker 2: Let's also talk about how.
Speaker 1: We really need to embrace these moments because we're here
Speaker 1: today and we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And even though we have that thea and who na
Speaker 1: chief Mosa, one day you're gonna miss that, you know.
Speaker 1: One day you're gonna miss achievement. One day you're going
Speaker 1: to miss that grandparent. One day, you're going to miss
Speaker 1: that uncle. They laugh too much, they dance too much,
Speaker 1: even even the drunk uncle, or that family member that
Speaker 1: be doing the most, the one that's always trying to dance,
Speaker 1: the one that's always being loud, the one that's always
Speaker 1: being bougie and you know, thinking that she's the most
Speaker 1: high class or whatever it may be. Those kids running
Speaker 1: around being loud and scandalous and pushing everybody around, as
Speaker 1: scandalous as it may look, as as uncomfortable as it
Speaker 1: may seem. One day you're gonna miss that. One day,
Speaker 1: you're gonna miss those memories. One day, you're gonna wish
Speaker 1: that you can go back into that space. So while
Speaker 1: you're there in that moment, live in the present, Live
Speaker 1: in that moment, enjoy your willite that, Enjoy your mother
Speaker 1: and your father, Enjoy your brother, your sister, enjoy those
Speaker 1: moments because that will never happen again. That moment in
Speaker 1: that way will never ever happen again. And I also
Speaker 1: think it's so important to talk about. You know, Christmas
Speaker 1: also is about receiving, giving, spending time with each other,
Speaker 1: embracing each other, creating memories. And part of creating those
Speaker 1: memories is living and being in the present. Stop recording
Speaker 1: all these damn moments. I know you want to record it,
Speaker 1: and I know you want to take pictures, and I
Speaker 1: know that that's super cool, and I know you want
Speaker 1: to TikTok, and I know you want to do all
Speaker 1: these lives and I get it, But can we also
Speaker 1: take some time to live in the present, to live
Speaker 1: in the moment. Sometimes you're so caught up trying to
Speaker 1: record everything, trying to look sexy and look cute, and
Speaker 1: trying to TikTok dance, trying to do all these extra
Speaker 1: things that you missed the moment you missed the moment
Speaker 1: where you literally just sit there, breathe in, breathe out,
Speaker 1: and look all around and try to record.
Speaker 2: Those memories in your mind. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: in your mind.
Speaker 1: Look at that Christmas tree, look at the core, the
Speaker 1: taste of the food, just the smell of the environment
Speaker 1: that you're in.
Speaker 2: All those little details matters.
Speaker 1: And I feel that the more we live in this
Speaker 1: new general, you know, this new generation of social media
Speaker 1: and techno and everybody being you know, everybody's connected through
Speaker 1: the phone instead of being connected in person and all
Speaker 1: those things, the more we live in those moments, the
Speaker 1: more we disconnect each other from the people that really matter,
Speaker 1: the people in our lives, the people in that moment.
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying. So I'm not over here
Speaker 1: trying to preach, but I'm just trying.
Speaker 2: To let you know.
Speaker 1: You know, with all the wars, with the the things
Speaker 1: that we're living with a disconnect of life and society
Speaker 1: is important for us to do moments that you know,
Speaker 1: really matter to us, to our family, to our growth.
Speaker 1: Also changing a little bit of the route of this conversation.
Speaker 1: I know that not too long ago, I did an
Speaker 1: episode talking about you know, holiday behaviors. And here goes
Speaker 1: another one too. Let's talk about if you go to
Speaker 1: someone's house for the holidays again, and this okay, during Christmas,
Speaker 1: it would be so nice if you bring a plate
Speaker 1: of food, bring a soda, bring a bag of chips,
Speaker 1: bring something, you know, anything not impart that brings of
Speaker 1: hot talks. And sometimes it's not even what it is
Speaker 1: is the act of courtesy is the act of I'm
Speaker 1: trying to share, you know, don't go over there just
Speaker 1: with your empty stomach and your big ass mouth ready to.
Speaker 2: Destroy everything in that kitchen.
Speaker 1: So in my perfect world, that would love to be
Speaker 1: in the Dominican Republic. That is so beautiful, that people
Speaker 1: are so warm and welcoming. You know, you could feel
Speaker 1: the happiness no matter how much property there is, how
Speaker 1: many struggles my people may be going through. In my cultura,
Speaker 1: we we sing, we dance, we we love, We embrace
Speaker 1: each other. Just seeing the apples hanging out, you know,
Speaker 1: lo caramelos outside, which is something very cultural to us.
Speaker 1: You know, in the Dominican Republic, we have los paranas
Speaker 1: that they come out, you know, in the streets and
Speaker 1: they'll get, you know, whatever they find in their kitchen
Speaker 1: and they just start making music. I love all that,
Speaker 1: you know, the the neighbors will come together and go
Speaker 1: door to door singing Christmas songs to each other. And
Speaker 1: I know it seems crazy, and I know it seems
Speaker 1: like what the hell is wrong with you? But back
Speaker 1: in the days, it used to be a thing. And
Speaker 1: when I see it, you know, I still love it
Speaker 1: because it makes me feel like we haven't completely lost
Speaker 1: the essence of us. We haven't completely lost our culture,
Speaker 1: who we are as people. And I think it's important
Speaker 1: to at least now figure out a way to evolve
Speaker 1: yourself in it, share share those those cultural.
Speaker 2: Memories and moments, and continue it. Continue. I've done it before.
Speaker 2: I once remember I.
Speaker 1: Joined the Dominican Republic Wunaparanda, and we just went door
Speaker 1: to door, knocking on people's door. They would open the
Speaker 1: door and be like, what the hell's going on? And
Speaker 1: then we would just sing Christmas songs, you know, and
Speaker 1: then the people would join us too, and it became
Speaker 1: like a whole thing. But it's so amazing the power
Speaker 1: of music. It's so amazing the power that music and
Speaker 1: sometimes holidays have that makes people come together.
Speaker 2: By the way, for Christmas. What do you guys eat
Speaker 2: because in my house those.
Speaker 3: Gomemos and.
Speaker 1: I mean the list goes on and on and all
Speaker 1: the things that we eat. It be terrible the diaby
Speaker 1: out the door during Christmas time because we make sure
Speaker 1: to eat a little bit of everything. And I definitely
Speaker 1: take advantage of that time to eat as much as
Speaker 1: they can. And I repeat, as much as they can.
Speaker 1: And then I lightened myself, like everybody does that. During
Speaker 1: January New Year, we're gonna go to the gym and
Speaker 1: do diets. You know, we be lying, but sounds good
Speaker 1: with that being said, I hope I didn't kill your spirits.
Speaker 1: It's just that Christmas has never been a thing for me.
Speaker 1: I'm working on it. Though I'm working on it. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to be a better person. I'm trying and I
Speaker 1: get into the Christmas bird. But anyways, for today, this
