With a place as diverse and interesting as Eagle Rock, there's bound to be differences. One of which is how we celebrate the holidays! When I was talking to my friend, I realized that everyone celebrates differently; for instance, she eats grapes on New Years, and I eat oranges. Therefore leads me here, so I asked ERHS how they celebrate the holidays! Here's what they said:
“I open Christmas presents at 12 am on the dot.”
“On New years, I go to my grandmother’s house and play table top games with my cousins and my family. We all count down and hug each other and say ‘Happy New Year!’”
“A whole bunch of money games. On New Years we do money draws, Christmas we have more money games. I AM NOT A GAMBLER!”
“For Christmas Eve I make tamales and play card games with my family, and then we open gifts. Kids are allowed to open three presents and then the rest on Christmas day.”
“On Christmas I kinda just go to my grandparents house and exchange presents. On New Year's Eve we celebrate my dad, my aunt, my other aunt, and my grandparents birthday since they all fall on December 31.”
“Only my parents and well, my brother, live in California. Most of my family lives in Illinois, so we go to Illinois. There, we celebrate Christmas a day before with my mothers side of the family and then Christmas day I spend it at my grandmother's retirement home with the other side of my family.”
“For Christmas I like to spend money during Black Friday. I like to help clean out during the holidays and help my family. I like to buy what my family asks for even if it's my cousin's ipad addiction. I like buying gifts even if it feeds into consumerism, it's the season of giving.”
“I love listening to Christmas music. I also like going to places with lots of Christmas decorations and just looking at them. And I always like seeing my sister who comes down from Oregon for the holidays.”
