In Mexico, they have dinner festivals-
What they do is, the neighbors get together, and everynight all of the neighbors sing carols and go to a designated house.
It is a different house each night; and they eat a traditional mexican dinner.
This is called a POSADA.
It usually starts a week before Christmas Eve, with Christmas Eve everyone stays at home, and you wait until midnight to open presents.

Everyone gets up early the day after Thanksgiving and goes to the shopping mauls to spend as much money as they can.

No, they are able to do despite they choose are you able to think of having to offer up your customs? it may be very uncomfortable and depressing. Your way of existence is almost a factor of you, and having to furnish that up is puzzling. All that history...misplaced. i think of united statesa. ought to discover ways to grow to be greater gentle to the practices of different cultures, that's what tolerance is all approximately. they are loose to do despite they choose, merely as we are. we ought to consistently no longer be forcing something onto them. all of the jointly as, we'd be discovering approximately their way of existence and the flaws that they might desire to grant. lots of the flaws we've we are turning out to be from our immigrants. From beer to hous platforms to chinese language nutrients, and so on. We get exhilaration from those issues If we don't, we are considered as illiberal and narrowminded, and that's genuinely actual. Immigrants coming in time will finally end up mixing their way of existence with ours anyhow. Having somewhat little bit of themselves and somewhat little bit of united statesa.. an easy compromise, what's greater useful than that?
