!!!!!!!!Squeaky!!!!!!!

My family comes from Guatemala. Guatemala is a relatively small country in Central America. In this box I would put items which represent the food, clothing, and traditions of Guatemala.                                                                                                                                       To represent food I would put in the recipe for my mom’s tamales. She makes them in a distinct way then they are usually made. We make and eat a big batch of them every Christmas. To represent clothing I would put in a refajos and a huipil. A refajos is a skirt and a huipil is a blouse. These are the traditional clothing of the indigenous people of Guatemala. They are very colorful and have beautiful woven designs.                                     Finally I would also put in a video of a traditional Quinceañera. A Quinceañera is a celebration done when a girl reaches fifteen. It is supposed to celebrate the change from a girl into a young lady. It is much like a sweet sixteen, except it isn’t just a party. There is first a mass and then a party. It is also only celebrated by Hispanics and is supposed to be done in Spanish, though many don’t. I would probably put a video of my older sister’s. I think that wit this i would be able to show a glimpse of what my culture is about.
