Latino family gatherings are lit. Between the delicious feast, music, and your hilarious tíos, it’s hard not to enjoy yourself. Every year, as the holidays approach, you easily remember the joyous moments. But if you’re truly honest with yourself, you’ll realize that Latino family gatherings are actually kind of the worst. There’s a lot of deceiving (how else will you get people to show up on time?) and chisme (everyone else’s chisme is fair game, but not yours). So before you get blinded by the smell of pernil and/or tamales, we’re here to remind you of the things that will make you side-eye your family.

2

3
You're going to get really hungry
4
Your relatives get really comfortable.
5
Your tías are too honest.
