On April 30th we have a tradition, “El Dia del
Nino.” In a few parts or towns in Mexico it is still celebrated. Not many parts of Mexico celebrates this day
because to them it’s pointless, but for us it’s not. This day consist of
celebrating all the kids in a household or typically if it’s a small town have
a little get together with all of the kids. In this day if you are still
considered a kid your parents will wake up to tell you “Feliz Dia del Nino” and
that was something every kid wanted to hear coming from their parents. When I
was in Mexico my dad will always make a barbecue for my cousins and I. Him and
my aunts will make cook foods that we loved as kids like: tostadas, posole,
tacos etc. They would also buy us a cake and would give us little bags full of
all types of candy called “aguinaldos.” Those aguinaldos mainly consisted of
candy that we typically liked. We would also have games and at night we would make
a bonfire with all of our friends and family. That day we would also make sure
that no kid was left behind and we would donate toys, candy, and some food for
the needy. We wanted to make sure that every kid felt the love and affection on
that special day. We loved making this act of kindness because we knew that
every kid wanted to be celebrated since it was a very special day.
