The Mexican culture has a lot of nice traditions. We have a lot of holidays, and we celebrate most of them. Mexican kids play a lot of Mexican games that their parents played when they were kids. In our culture most of the people tell a lot of tales about witches, and some of them are real stories. In Mexico there are many herbal remedies that we use like medicines. 

Celebrating holidays in Mexico is part of the rich tradition and culture there. At Christmas time, unlike Lent, we celebrate posadas. Also we celebrate the birth of Christ. In our culture we used to sing a song called "Las Mananitas" to the Virgin Mary. It is a song that we use to greet people and to give respect to the Virgin Mary. Nativity scenes are very common in my culture. 

We have big parties that are part of our culture and traditions. At these parties we make punch that's kind of hot and spicy. We eat foods like nopalitos, a prickly pear, and capirotada. In Mexico we play a lot of different games than we play here. One of them is la roa. This game is a very common entertainment like a game of tag. Another game that we play is called bote quemado . It is like kick-the-can, and another game that we play, policias y rateros, is a game similar to cowboys and Indians, or cops and robbers. Another kind of game is called matatena, and we play this inside on the table or on the floor. We use a little ball and some little things like crosses, but if someone doesn't have the crosses, they can use stones to play the matatena. 

In our culture we usually learn tales from kindergarten. When I was in kindergarten I remember that the teachers told us a lot of tales to entertain us and to learn more things, to educate kids. There are a lot of tales that I knew, but they had a lot of bad words, and were dirty and are for older people. When I was in Mexico I learned a lot of tales, and some of them are scary, but I like them. In our culture there are a lot of ghost stories. Another story from Mexico, unlike tales for kids, is called "La Llorona," and it is a very old, scary, and popular story. There are many books of all kinds of stories, but people make a lot of ghost stories to make the papers more interesting for books, so people buy more. Some people believe in witches and tell stories about them. In our culture there are witches that take your money like doctors and they do not do anything for you. Some people say that witches bite on your flesh because sometimes when you get up in the morning, and you look at your body you have something that looks like hickies and sometimes that happened to me. 

We use a lot of remedies in Mexico to cure people that doctors don't cure. Unlike prescriptions, many home remedies that people use to cure sickness are made at home. Some remedies that we use to cure people are not used by doctors. These remedies are a part of our culture and traditions. Using remedies to cure people is another way of curing yourself without having to go to the doctor. The use of remedies is more common in older folks. The young people tend to believe more in science than in old customs and traditions which include the use of remedies. Some of the things that are used to cure people can be used by people who are involved in doing witchcraft. Some people believe that this curandero can remove a jinx by using these remedies. 

We celebrate every holiday every year in Mexico. To have fun we play a lot of different games. Our culture is full of many tales that make my culture more interesting. Some people in Mexico believe in witches and tell stories about them. Sometimes Mexican people don't go to the doctor and use home remedies. These are some of the traditions that make Mexico a unique place.
