All the Latin Relatives That'll Probably Come Over on Christmas Eve

Latino families are loud and crazy and so much fun, and nothing proves this more than your holiday celebrations. Getting everyone together is exciting and really brings home how much you love all those nutty people you call your own, but let's be honest here, it also highlights how very different each person is. From that noisy aunt to the "gets louder every year" uncle, keep scrolling to find all the people who will undoubtedly be there on Noche Buena to annoy you and delight you all at the same time.
