Christmas day was spent with the family. My sister had an appendectomy and was not able to join us until later on in the day. We had already opened all our gifts on Christmas Eve. We woke up and had our usual Christmas breakfast of Buscuits with Gravy. For dinner, mom made the traditional Puerto Rican dish of pernil, arroz con gandules, and lets not forget the dessert–flan. Everyone was playing with their Christmas gifts and awaiting the next day until they could use their gift cards to buy more stuff.
