Raisa Hulett, freshman

By Kaitlyn Sitton

Freshman Raisa Hulett celebrates a traditional Mexican Christmas. Hulett and her family make tamales on Dec. 23 to prepare for the big day. A party is always in store for Christmas Eve. 

“On Christmas Eve, we have a big party with all my family,” Hulett said, “and we give gifts and eat traditional Mexican food and have fun.”

Family also plays a big role in Hulett’s Christmas traditions. They play games like loteria and make food together. The holiday wouldn’t be the same without her family.

“Family is your whole life when you’re Mexican,” Hulett said, “and without everybody, it would be kind of boring.”
