Merry Christmas From Luz

Ho, ho, ho! 🎅Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🤶

From my family to yours, I want to wish you a happy holiday season. 🎄

This Christmas, I want to share a family tradition with you all. 👪

As you all know, I am Mexican 🇲🇽, and family and unity are really important to us. One of my favorite things about the holidays is coming together to cook together. We make tamales, pozole, arroz con leche, and even more yummy Mexican dishes! It’s an entire day of cooking. 👩‍🍳

As Mexicans, we also celebrate the 24th instead of the 25th. On the 24th, we spend all day prepping and cooking, and at the stroke of midnight, 🕒we open presents! 🎁

One of my biggest presents, having been away and traveling, is to be with family during the holidays. My family has grown (my adorable niece 👶is one!), and we love to sit around the table playing board games for hours, enjoying all the food we’ve prepared.

On this holiday, I want to thank you for being part of my family and for the ways that we have walked on this journey together. 

I wish each of you incredible happiness, wonder, gratitude, and magic this Christmas. I hope you take some time to really reflect on what’s most important in your life and to be really present with the people who are most important on your journey.

🎁May you laugh until your belly hurts.

🎁May you eat delicious, beautiful food.

🎁May you feel safe and loved.

Know that I love you 💚and I am so grateful for each of you in this community. 

Happiest of holidays from my family to yours. I look forward to continuing to walk on this journey with you! ​
