My tradition is a secret santan in the Dominican Republic.  My family decided that we were going to have a secret santa in my grandma’s house. My aunt started to talk with the microphone and she started to announce that the secret santa was about to start. The presents were on a table. Each person got up and said the name of their secret santa in the microphone and gave them their gift. I got up and said who my secret santa was, it was my cousin tony. We finished the secret santa and gave everyone their gift. We were about to start a dance competition. It was moms vs dads vs daughters we first started organizing how the dance was gonna be. Everyone was just laughing and applauding. My team won 100 dollars each. My mom said to go get my dinner that it was ready. I was so hungry my family and I ate all together. We were so happy. It was almost New years. We counted the minutes when it was time we hugged each other and said happy New year. After a while we kept having a good time together as a family.
