You try to think of something to ask Jorge (the unemployed, good for nothing, cousin) to bring that won't be missed if he screws up and flakes - maybe the ice for the cooler, we can always send someone on a quick run to the Korean market...they never close for the holidays.
Party starts on Wednesday to make the tamales first and it's over by Friday night when Abuelo gets fed up with all the crying kids, arguing couples and drunken idiots. Que se vayan a chingar a su madre a sus casas cabrones...ya estoy arto!
This is my house, get the hell out!
