Dia del Nino


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.
