Winter Break

Over winter break something kind and thoughtful that I did was help my mom cook for Christmas and help her clean afterwards. Over the break my mom decided to go all out and cook for my family, and I decided to help her. I think it was really kind that I helped her because there was this one specific thing that we cooked and those are tamales. However these were different types of tamales, they were Guatemalan styled tamales. Those take forever to cook because it's cooked differently then regular tamales. They take about 3-4 hours to cook but in the end it's worth it because they taste really good. Since my mom cooked a lot so it was obvious that the kitchen was gonna be a mess. So once my mom was done cooking everything my sisters and I helped clean up the kitchen. We were able to clean it up in about 45 minutes. Then once everything was done we all enjoyed the food that my mom made and overall we had a really good Christmas dinner.
