Thanksgiving Traditions and Etiquette

don't have family that. But honestly, my mom immigrated here to the United States by herself and her family has become our friends. So we end up going to our friend's house or whatever. But in Lakasa and we don't do none of that. But I definitely want to know how do you spend your holidays? How do you spend your Thanksgiving? Go to exactly a Mada on Twitter and on Instagram and let me know how do you spend

your holidays, especially Thanksgiving. But before I get into all the detail sales of what thanks Giving means to me, some memories that I've had when it comes to Thanksgiving, um, and my real thoughts on you know, coming together as a family and celebrating such an important Dame m because when there's unity, there's force. I first want to bring my producer as my guest, because last time we did this together, we did such a great job and the

chemistry and the Bible was so good. He's always behind the scene, but this time I want him to be on the scene. So Alex was good, was popping. Thank you so much for coming in today. No, don I'm glad to be back here with you again. I think that we did such a great job last time. Yeah, I'm glad you brought me back. Guess you wanted me to in your house better. Um, how do you spend your holidays? Well, now, Thanksgiving? Because Thanksgiving and benevery everything

else fault you know, comes into play. But Thanksgiving, how do you celebrate it at home? Well, I'm glad you brought that up, because you know what I think. Every year, earlier and earlier, people start putting out Christmas decorations right like it's crazy. You go to the stores everywhere is like Christmas is the very first right after Halloween, everybody

starts putting Christmas things up. I know. Yeah. So um, as far as for me, like from what I remember as a kid growing up, like, Um, I lived in Puerto Rico on top I was eight years old, So I don't think we we celebrate I can't remember that far back, unfortunately, but I don't think we um really celebrated anything on the island with Thanksgiving. I mean we had parties, right because living down there in the island, you had parties for the entirety of the holiday season.

But UM, I do remember coming back here to the United States, uh, to live. That's when things really started like kicking for me and remembering like my earliest you know memory of all this was going to my cousin's house, um and having everyone come over and being like who are these people? Right? Like I just came here to the States. I don't know who anybody is. But it was a good way for me to kind of get into the whole and in the way this country celebrates

it right with food and and everything. It's it's really remarkable. So yeah, so that was that was like my earliest, uh memory. Did you ever like as a kid growing up, did you go to people's houses? Did you did you did your mom ever do anything at home or was it just completely skipped over? My mom was my mom was always working during the holidays because my mom used to work, and it's these places where like it's very it's very worn amongst the Latino community. But they sell

the food by the pound. So my mom for the holidays, she used to have to cook, you know, for everybody else they wanted to come to the store and take food for home. So I remember just being in the kitchen with her until like the next day. She would literally not sleep, she would be there cooking for so long. The holidays never really was a thing for me, And I almost feel like Thanksgiving to me, it should really be about coming together the family. Let's share, you know, memories.

I mean, at least that's how we want to do with my family. But let's share memories. So what that goes? And to me, it's like Thanksgiving us about the food. Everybody wants to come to your house accoman. I don't have like the most positive outlook when it comes to certain holidays. Um and then I don't know, I'm not trying to be stingy batom. I feel like, I mean, if you go to somebody's house, I just feel like rules and regulations are jew don't come here empty handed.

They just gonna and your mouth ready to eat. Now, if you go to somebody's house, you know Hugo takes something better. Don't just show up to people's house. They get ready to eat and you want to take you want to take to your house for the next three or four days. No, no, you have to have some you know, that's the important when you talk about the protocoloclo, the etiquette when it comes to going to somebody else's

house for the holidays. One, let's get to it. What if you're bringing kids and I'm getting ready for mind and I already have my speech together. If you you better not act like you're hungry. You're better ask for anything.

You better stitch your ass down roof. So you're just like when my mom when I would go, when I would go to the to my parents, to my family's house, even my aunts and uncle's, they'd be like, oh, yeah, no, if you need to use the bathroom exactly, because then it'll be like you ain't got no damn manners, and then you'll be eating. Okay, you never see no food in your house. You starting it because everybody got to

be like, damn you bad parents. Your kid comes over here hungry as hell, tearry everything up Amida seeing that they don't touch nothing east and then you squeeze your lips like this and you look at if I'll see you, just so I get your kids together. Practice that, don't touch, don't ask for nothing, speech at home. That's one two.

If you're gonna be there, you know. Another thing, it's not just don't touch anything, but that's because if you're going to somebody else's house, you would have a good time. It is your duty as a parent to make sure you have your kids under control. Nobody else should be babysitting your kid. I don't care who it is. You know, everybody's trying to have a good time and celebrate. So

that's important. See if stella. Another thing, no say DNA, don't don't I know, get handed that you eat with your eyes and don't say you get to play and you just get you and you just stuff. You're playing full of stuff, get it, you don't get to eat it, and then you throw it away as hope. That is so that is so messed up to have to throw the food away. Get didn't know, get a small portion, get what you're gonna eat, and if you want seconds get yoursse up and get a little bit more. But

I don't throw away the food. Oh something my parents also taught me. Yeah. Yeah. Another thing if you if you're gonna go to somebody else, like I said before, no stop at the supermarket and just get something or ask, right, because that's not That's another thing, Mina. I'm gonna go to your house, but you like me to take something. For the most part, they're gonna be like, oh no, no no, no, don't bring anything. But if you bring it, they're gonna take it. So if you don't know what to take,

you can always take dessert. You can't go wrong with that day that you apple pie umbo, whatever brings something that's out of courtesy, especially if you're thinking of taking food. Another thing, don't go into people's house with a damn plastic container from your car. They can let me get the container from my car so I can take some leftovers to my house. Don't don't do that. That's so messed up. Do you have any any etiquete or any rules and regulations not to break? Yeah? So, um, that

was number one. My father was a cook in Puerto Rico right for many years before we moved out. Here and he always wanted to make the pin. Always always like we didn't we didn't eat. Yeah, we had turkey, but it was like a minimal amount. But we would also bring the pnin just in case. And that was one thing he would always say, like, I'm gonna bring something.

And my aunt we would always go to house shout out and um, she would go and obviously her oven would be full of making everything else right, So we would, you know, all take our pieces of what we wanted to whether it be or whatever, we would make it. And always every year until I left my home to to go to the Marines, we would always bring something, no matter what, you know, whatever flying you know. Yeah, So that for me now is a grown up that's

instilled in me. So any time I go to my parents house or anyone's house that I end up going to, we either bring some type of of dessert, we bring some time, you know, like you said, you know, you bring that with you. Um. And as of late, now that I'm older and i'm you know, thinking back about when my parents were my age, that right now, that coquito you make your own coquito, you bring it in

as asked, that special drink you know, for everyone. So yeah, so I have my My two daughters were the same way. I would. We would go to my parents house when I was groing up because I was divorced, so I would take my daughters with me and I'd be the same to hey, listen, if you guys want anything, you asked. Now. I wasn't as strict as my parents with me, right like if I hear you breathe, we're leaving, you know,

but yeah, but I would. I would grant them, you know, the ability, and you know this is the thing, and your mom's gonna do it, so get ready for this. Uh once their grandparents, whatever rules you had will never apply to that kid or in yours two kids, you know, so you gotta gotta get ready because they're gonna be spoiled.

That's crazy because my mom used to beat my ass, and I remember I used to go to my room and be like you fucking and I would just hit everything and I would just be like, you know what, Oh my god, I can't when you go to sleep, I'm gonna wake up and you're gonna I'm not gonna be here. And I would get my book bag and I would stuff closed in there and everything, and I would just stand behind the door like just watch, and then I would I would literally like try to leave

and then bring my ass right back home. So, you know, there was a lot of things that I did that I think that my my kids are obviously probably gonna do it to me because the saco repeats. But I told my mom, Mommy, well, this is just changing topics real quick. But do you think that when I have my kids, um, you're going to spank them? And I spank them beat them? Asked spanking I don't know about and she was like no, because you beat the hell

out of me. I still got scars in my legs. Yo, you baby, someone that I even turned out to be an artist. And I'm like saying no to violence because I'm not saying they get a child abuse so bad, don't Sometimes talking doesn't work. Every parent has their own method. By the way, we should do a show about that. But every parent has their own method. I parents use. Some of them used to use the belt, the hangar,

the branch whatever from the tree. Everybody had their own thing and things work differently for you know, I'm gonna take your eye part away or whatever. I personally think that after you say things two times, you're three, that's an automatic. I'm gonna beat your ass. That's it. Like, that's it. It's like it's like when you're driving and you get a warning. After that you get a ticket. So it's like I've already warned you, and I warned

you about what's gonna happen. So that's it. But with that being said, you know who deserves to get some ass beats too. Anybody that goes to your house with Thanksgiving and gets drunk, your ass needs to get a whooping me that we're not doing that. Don't go into somebody. I know that you get excited. I know that you get happy. I know I get that part. Beat Obama with your mouth. If you already know that you're feeling a little sassy, you're feel little saucy. They wore they

want to drinks. Three drinks for drinks. Yeah, yeah, that way on. Where are we going? Where we gotta go all the way over there. Keep it keep it nice, keep it juicy, keep it light. And another thing that's very important also is that during the holidays, we also know that a lot of people have accidents, you know, and we want to prevent everybody from No, don't drink and drive. I know you've already heard this a thousand times. You're still gonna do whatever you want, but at least

I told you don't do it. Drink enough to feel good, to feel nice, and even after you're drinking. If you feel that you need to stay at this person's house, stay and if for any of to what reason they don't let you stay in their house, stay in your Carntana, get in your car, take your seat back and just chill, relax, chill till you feel good. If you know, if you're intuition tells you you know. I ate too much. I've been drinking too much. I had way too much fun.

I'm tired, be tired. That's it. Don't go anywhere because and and not only that, the drinking and driving better the pup pos. The puppos know what time it is and they is ready outside in the streets, ready to give you all that ticket. So I get control that I'm being as goes for the family members. If you have any friends, time being that you know you see your friend getting a little bit late. I feel I

may be wrong. It is your responsibility as a friend or as a family member, have you see somebody doing too much? I don't just watch them drinking, going crazy and not say anything. And you see them get in the car and you're like, okay, we'll see you tomorrow. Say something, because then God forbids something goes wrong, you're

gonna feel so guilty and so responsible. Right. And it's always this time of the year that the most accidents happened, and and it's proven that they usually happened after holiday parties or holiday events. And just like you mentioned that my uncle loved to drink. He had his course light every Friday after work, had this little course light. Um, and you knew my uncle was feeling uh, you know great when came on boy your boy, you know when he would turn on that chat that he knew he

was already saucy, you know. And that's one thing. You're the host, you know, you're you're at home. But he was also had the right mind to know that if he was feeling good, possible other family members were filling saucy as well. And there was always an inflatable couch. There was always a room to give away if need be right. Um, there was always a couch to sleep on. It didn't matter. And that was one thing that we

did a lot. We my cousins would were living by Coney Island in Brooklyn and I live in Jersey, so we knew that, you know, traveling that late at night, knowing that people were also in the road, perhaps drinking. My uncle would say, hey, you know you're staying here, make sure you pack a bag. So we did that for many years where we would stay by them until

they moved to Jersey. And even then we still you know, even though we lived like ten blocks away, we would still just stay over the night or whatever, you know, and it was it was great. I do have a question for you, though, did you guys um ever have you said you went even as a younger, you guys went to other people's houses. Yeah, I would go to

other people's houses. Not everything's giving because for the most part, you know, whether it is that when I was younger, my mom was the one working, and then as an adult, it's funny how unconsciously you repeat the psyche. Then it wasn't like a thing for me to like Thanksgiving, Christmas. None of those things have ever been a thing to me. I don't really it sounds messed up, but I don't really care too much for it. I'm like, is there work? Is there a show? Can I be on stage? Is

there a radio show? What am I doing? I feel like, you know, the holidays, it is time for you to work, and it's like, you know the rest of the time. But even like last year. Last year, I was on stage with people. I was on stage with a whole bunch of big artists. It was a huge concert here at Bayside, Miami, and it was New Year's and everybody was with their families and the grains. And to me, I was like, I'm over here rehearsing with my dancers,

getting my show together. So it hasn't really been a thing to me. Battle I always did, you know, try if I could to go to somebody's house just for the food. Really, do you feel you want to change that for your for your kids? Do you feel like you want to start your own traditions and something moving forward to they can they can have that as well.

It is so weird, but all of a sudden, since I've had this motherly instinct thing happening inside of me or whatever, now I'm thinking like, oh mother, Now I'm thinking like my mom, and I'm like, what the hell. So yes, I'm thinking about like, oh, you know I want to give them is I want to give them things that they can pass down to their kids and be like, oh no, my mom gave this to me. So all those things that I couldn't do, I want to. I'm such a workaholic. It's like to me, it's like

I work sometimes even sometimes to do this podcast. I'd be caught up like, oh my god, I'm doing so many things. But at the same time, now that I have kids coming on the way, I feel like I want to make time for them. I want to be able to say no, these days I don't work because I want to be able to give them that time.

So definitely, I want to change, you know, change the traditions of not celebrating things giving or Christmas and doing it and showing them that this is a time for us to come together as a family and doing all those things that I never got to do. So most definitely,

and I want to create my own traditions too. There's things that for example, um, I don't know, you can come up with you can come up with something that's different, that's special, that no one has done in your family, but it stays amongst you guys, and they'll always have those memories like, oh my god, I remember what my dad used to do this La da da da, And you know it's new, it's different. You could just come

up with it. It could be the smallest little thing, but what seems small to you will be big to them that they will always remember, like, damn, I remember you used to do this, you know, so I definitely want to create those memories for them. And I think most I think most of it for you, a madam, might be coming from the fact that your mom did work. Your mom had to work. Your mom was trying to provide for the family. Was very It wasn't very easy for her to come by right, to have to build

those traditions. But she was still trying to give you that time even though she had to work, right, because you are now, you know, you're very fortunate to now to be able to care for your mom right and give her, give her those ting I'm about to try to take your hands back to work, but I hear you thanksgiving to work. It's tough about here in the streets. I got too many damn bills and I got two kids.

Hell but yeah, so so I think for you now as you you're right, it's a mother intuition, right, And for me I was I got married very young. Um, and you know I had my kids very young. So which is right? By the way, I almost feel like I wish it depends And I'm gonna ask you this too. I do not even in and we'll talk about this data too, and this is another episode. But um, when when you have kids earlier, I almost feel like you mature faster and then you get to enjoy your kids.

Your kids are growing up with you, you get to enjoy them. But then, so those are the benefits, but there's a lot of things you don't get to experience, and a lot of things you don't get to live. There's a lot of things you have to like cut off. But then when you get older, it's like, Okay, I already live my life. Now I want to have my kids, and it's like, yeah, but now I'm old and I'm tired. Anybody got time for that? Um? You know, how do you feel that the holidays have been for you since

since you actually had your kids early? Yeah? So, um, obviously I had a great Um, you know family upbringing, with the with the events and stuff like that. And you know there was times that my dad was a truck driver, so yes there was times he had to work, but um he would try to get off early, and you know we could do the trans the Thanksgiving traditions and whatever. But yeah, so once I had my kids, um, I I kind of like instilled all those things into them, right.

I passed it down like this is what we did, this is how we grew up and do. Once I got divorced, um, you know, you you do the separates, right, so you now there's two thanksgivings and to what whatnot? So I did my best to give them as much of me as possible. So like Thanksgivings will be would be split. Right. They would do early with their mom, late with me. But I still give them the traditions and for me myself, Um, I would have to. They would sometimes sleep over some more or less. They would

go with their mom back home late at night. Um. So because of that arrangement that I had with her, I still was able to go out and do my things. I was still able to go out if I wanted to go to you know, with my adult friends to like a small event. But you gave a really good point that I hadn't even thought about, because that's what I'm saying now, thinking as an adult, now, thinking as a parent, how do you think that that may have affected?

Or did it affect or did it it did it take some time for the for them to accustomed to, like we have to split sometimes with that sometimes how was that so for for them? For them it was it was kind of seamless. Because see when I separated from my ex wife, Uh, they were young, they were they were young. There were three and one. So, um, they had questions coming up, right because obviously you know she got remarried or whatever. But it was more or less like her and I can say had a really

good working relationship as parents. Right, So we knew that the holidays were pretty big for both of us, right, so we would split it a certain way, We would act certain ways with the kids. We would come together to give gifts or whatnot. So for Thanksgiving itself, though, um, there was times that I would get invited over by her mom, you know. So I had a really great

relationship with her parents. I still do, and I would come over and have a little bit of a food before, you know, before I took off to go see my parents. So for them, um, they never had it bad amount of because they saw that there was there was some type of good friendship there. There wasn't an animosity, there wasn't any bitterness or anything like anybody arguing. So we yeah, I gave them that. And growing up now now they're

one and eighteen, oh my god, yes, got used to that. Yeah, so they're doing whatever they want and and you know, and even now, like they still I've instilled the traditions of like Thanksgiving and coming together as a family. Um, you know, and I grew up over yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And you know I grew I grew up in this country, right, so since the age of eight, so you know, you grew up with with um, with other friends of mine that have traditions like that, you know, like getting together

and whatnot. So you know, for I wanted to kind of like continue to give them that even now is they're older. The first thing they asked me about it is like, hey, what time you guys doing dinner or you know, like when you know, and I'm like, I know they drive, but me as a down you guys need me to pick you up. What's up? You know what I'm saying. You know whatever, you guys need to just let me know. Dad though, I'm not even going to fry, like I'm still in my thirties. So that's

the good thing, you know, That's what I'm saying. I feel like, oh my good Lord, I want to be out, Lord help me. I want to be an all boring mom because I'm late now. But when my kids are like in their twenties, I would be like, look, I don't shoot your ass. I ain't going on. But mom's moms have changed your changed your your your new age style. Mom, know you're gonna be hipping cool, You're gonna have your

you know, I think that for you a matter. I think you're gonna have such a great time with your kids. I think that, Um, I could already see the change in you, and I already see what's happening. And I can tell you that I think once you start, you know, a year from now, we could be doing this podcast again and you will be in a totally different world.

You know, close the door up. But you'll also you'll also be thinking, like a mom, what can I do to make this special for them, right, so that you know, something like Thanksgiving, Now you're gonna start a tradition with your mom, right that your mom is going to be involved with. Right. So whether it be whether it be the kids running around saying, you know, Grandma woke up

early or whatever she's making you know. Uh. And that's one thing I remember a matter was waking up because my dad would wake up, like at four o'clock in the morning to put the panel in the oven. Right, so you wake up with that smell in the house, and you know, you have the little chat playing in the background or already you know, um Mega over here be playing a little bit of Christmas music, you know, so like it's it's it's those things that you're going

to feel when you have your kids. And you know, something else that I do want to teach my kids. It sounds uh, it don't sound awkward, but I'm gonna teach them how to clean after Thanksgiving parties over. That's another thing. Let's hit that point when you go to somebody's house or even if it's in your own house, I don't care how big how small you are, because usually they'll leave it to the elderly, they'll leave it

to the mom's familia or latilla or whoever. And those everybody wants to act Okay, I'm already stuff, I can't move, they can't have food coma and those say I'm stuck over here. No, no, no. That's another etiquette that we have to learn. When somebody cooks, you have to participate somehow or at least offer even if they tell, you know, you don't have to like what they say, Oh do you need any help? And you're praying inside that they stay no. But you know, if they ask me out

or you know, whatever, it's it's a nice way. Also if you participating, if you didn't bring anything, you know, or whatever, you didn't know what to come up with, at least try to offer some help, you know, because they already went out there, they bought the food, they've been cooking since earlier in the day. They try to give the best, you know, um ambiance. They've been a great host. Just put a little bit of your part and I'm sure that they're going to be thankful that

you at least tried. Yeah, And that's the and that's the thing, right, So like we knew that that met she would be making um the night before gadiando. Yeah, so we knew that they were up the night before. We knew my father was up the night before making the petness. So like for me and my cousin you know, and everyone else, the first thing we would do is like once everything's done, like we would you know, try to sneak our way back into the bedroom to go

play some sega. But we would kind of just like, you know, help out and clean up a little bit. And that's what my my daughters do now. You know, they're like very helpful, they're very hands on, um, you know, and and and they've they've I just I just believe that you're going to have the same experiences and you're gonna be able to do that for them as well. Uh, you know, give them, give them etiquettes, right, help clean up um whatever that, whatever it is that you think

should be done. And again, this is something great because you're doing it for the first time for your not only for yourself and your kids, but you're you have your mother involved, right, which is great. Your mom is here, your mom still young, your mom still you know, vibing and doing her thing. You know, I know, I definitely

feel like one. You know, I wanted you guys to hear today on the podcast exactly not just about my own personal experiences, but also just hitting certain points just in case you forgot certain etiquettes that you do have to have or that you should have when you go to other people's house or even in your own house, expect these things from people that come into your household. Um, but also to just share, you know, my my thoughts, my feelings of how now you know, I am going

to start creating my own traditions. I'm gonna start actually um being part and and now I feel like I am creating my own tribe. I am creating my own people. Now I feel like, damn after these kids, I didn't have more kids, so I can continue to do it. Yeah, create more people that I can. You know, rule, I am the leader of my of my empire. But I think it's important to remember at the end of the day, the things giving really is about coming together as a family,

coming together as a whole. And when I say family, family doesn't just mean the people that you are blood related to. There's some there's some people that you meet throughout life that become your friends, that become more than friends and become real family. There's more. In my case, I have more real friends that have turned out to be family for me than my own family. UM, invite them. That's another thing. Don't forget. Don't feel like, oh, this

person might already be doing something. Just the action of the thought of you calling someone or reaching out to them or texting them. Ay, listen, if you're not doing anything for Thanksgiving, come through, just that small little action.

You don't know what that can mean to someone, because at the end of the day, a lot of people are are putting a facade or showing you what they want you to see of them, and you truly don't know what they may be going through, whether it's financially, emotionally, whatever the case may be. So just a little offer of like y'o listen, come through, there's some food at the crib. Just come vibe, you know, and even if they say no, at least you put out that positive energy,

You put out that love for them. Um. So I think that that's super important. Like I said, Thanksgiving is not just about how I'm all stuff my face as somebody's house. You know, it's a moment to come together. If you haven't spoken to somebody in your family in a long time, take this opportunity to reach out. Or if they're there and they're just sitting there, whatever, even if you see them once a year, but have that bonding connection. Another thing, Drop the damn phone. Drop the phone.

Most people want to go to all these you know events, the holidays. Yes, I get it. You want to have memor reason, you want to post on Instagram, dada, but don't post that you're a happy family on Instagram to then get off Instagram and then ignore the fact that they're there the moment that you're there. Be present. I think that right now it is so important. And I'm learning this myself because I am a phone like freak. I'm on my phone all day, I'm on Instagram, on

this and all these, all these things. But learn to be present. If you're there for two or three hours, namas or whatever the kids may be. I'm not saying you can't look at it or you know, FaceTime a family member that's far away, then maybe can't make it,

and you're creating that family bond by doing that. Um better, don't be on your phone, instagramming and everybody else when you're right there at a moment, you're you're missing the moment, you're not living the moment because you're caught up on somebody else's life on social media. So drop the phone, enjoy the moment, and if you do use your phone, use it to create memories, use it to take pictures, use it to take videos downloaded on your phone on

your eye cloud. So the years from now, you can show it to your kids, you can show it to your family. You can have these memories because we're here today and we could be gone tomorrow.
