On New Year’s Day, we go and watch sunrise. We come home and wear Hanbok, Korean traditional clothing, and eat Korean dumpling soup. Sometimes we make our own dumplings. ]]> 2022-11-30 05:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/jlojrdwgu9esxt18/wish/2403025935 PhotosbyShin https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/jlojrdwgu9esxt18/wish/2403034174 We celebrate Chinese or Lunar New Year by having family dinner with hot pot, wearing tang dynasty costume (as shown in the picture), and playing fireworks.

We celebrate Three Kings Day. This holiday is celebrated as the day the three wise men first saw baby Jesus and brought him gifts. In Puerto Rico, before children go to sleep on January 5, they leave a box with hay under their beds so the kings will leave good presents. My family likes to eat rice and beans.

I look forward to snow during the winter. On snowy days I enjoy playing outside with my sister and building the snowman. I also like to collect icicles. Sometimes we go snowboarding or snow tubing.
One of my favorite activities is to prepare for Santa's visit. I help put up and decorate the Christmas tree, clean the chimney, leave cookies and milk by the fireplace for Santa. I love it when Santa leaves gifts for me and my sister and all the kids around the world.

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and  very Happy New Year!!]]> 2022-12-08 01:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/jlojrdwgu9esxt18/wish/2413692398 PhotosbyShin https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/jlojrdwgu9esxt18/wish/2414743105 2022-12-08 18:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/jlojrdwgu9esxt18/wish/2414743105 https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/jlojrdwgu9esxt18/wish/2414965276 2022-12-08 23:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/jlojrdwgu9esxt18/wish/2414965276 https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/jlojrdwgu9esxt18/wish/2415027152 My family celebrates both Hanukah and Christmas.

Making matzoh pancake served with yummy Vermont maple syrup reminds me of when I was a child. Throughout the holiday, we have a menorah that is lit each evening. We also have a Christmas tree adorned with 33 silver jingle bells, one for each year that my husband and I have been married. There's an ornament for each of my daughters that captures something special about the preceding year. We make sure to spend time with family and friends, baking as much as we can to share with the ones we love. ]]> 2022-12-16 14:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/PhotosbyShin/jlojrdwgu9esxt18/wish/2423048448
