Note from the author:
I am going to tell you about my favorite holiday now, and when I was little. The vocabulary you hear will be similar to what you hear on your midterm from native speakers. I was raised in a Christian family, so my holiday traditions are Christian.

You will hear me use the words LIBANAIS/LIBANAISE. This means LEBANESE. My father's family is Lebanese, and my mother's family is white. The first video talks about a holiday I spend with my Lebanese family (usually, when there isn't Covid), and the second video is about a holiday I spent with my mom's family when I was young.
