Paella

am Victoria Puglia, Spanish-American born, Spanish-American raised, half-Lynx , half-Trojan, and slowly making my way around the world.

Not only do we attend Christmas Eve mass, we also celebrate with a longstanding family tradition of paella (spanish seafood and rice dish) for dinner and my mother reads “The Night Before Christmas”. My sister and I get into our PJ’s, leave the cookies for “Santa”, sprinkle the reindeer food on the lawn and jump into my bed to get snuggled under…

open to now experiences but I just couldn 't, I mean the size of those shrimp things, I don 't even know if they were shrimp, but they were huge. Our cousins took us to a restaurant right on the beach after a nice relaxing day and ordered us some paella. It wasn 't too bad but there were 4 or 5 gigantic "shrimp" sitting on the top.
