Santa
A little while ago I was reading a friend of mine who has a consultancy and she wrote about intellectual property and Santa as a brand. That it's free and all that but that many, being the old bearded man's picture, free to use, have appropriated it and created new brands that are subject to copyright. Her message ended with something like this:
... so if you don't want Santa to bring you charcoal this year, remember to respect the intellectual property of everyone.
😂
And I thought that today, here, even charcoal is very necessary. Of course, we will not infringe any copyright to obtaining it, this is obvious, but also a sack of coal from Santa will be welcome.
I was replying to a comment to meesterboom and suddenly I decided to make this post. No, it's not a terrible threat a mashed potatoes. Imagine if I made the potatoes on the fire of charcoal and then put butter and milk on them to mash them. That's delicious. Well... I know everyone doesn't have to like what I like, but the important thing is to be well and happy with what pleases and satisfies you.
Gifts
The best thing about a gift is not the gift itself, although of course it brings content, especially if it is something that you like very much, that just by looking at it your eyes light up with many little sparks of love and even daydreams. But if you look closely at the person who gives it to you, oh, that's the best part of the moment. It also happens that sometimes you get gifts from a distance and you can't do that... but somehow you imagine it, I know, of course I've imagined it. And then you close your eyes and sigh so you don't miss it. We all do it so, maybe it's such a brief moment, that sometimes we're not even aware of it. What is most noticeable is the smile.

I have received some gifts this Christmas with great joy. These are two that I can show evidence of. 😃

These photos were also a gift from my sister and her husband. As tired as they were after work they went for a walk to show me their visions of Christmas in their neighbourhood. And they made me dream.
The company
I have decided to spend Christmas and even New Year's Eve alone. However, I know I won't be, because I'm always with myself. And I also know that my neighbours, and some friends will look for me because they like to laugh and chat. I also have my pets in my care and they don't leave my side... well, Yin is in love and I know that when this happens I have to clean and heal his wounds. Just yesterday he came in with a scratch in his eye and it doesn't seem to stop him because I don't see him around anymore. May the Universe protect him. He and I have many things in common.
And speaking of pets, this post made me feel so good today.... The video that goes with it is happiness in its purest state.

Poetry
I am the woman who loved the cloud at the first meeting
it was a cloud that stood between the deep emptiness and a doubt
and when it slowly swayed,
sometimes translucent,
what was underneath is the heaven...
...
The verses and my life
One of my favourite writers is Dulce María Loynaz. And there is a short poem of hers that I think of at certain times in my life. I'm not going to translate it, it would be sacrilege. Sometimes I even feel it is when I do it with my own, as English is not my mother tongue. ‘Quiéreme entera’ is its title. For me it is a great teaching, which I must not lose sight of and its echo reaches me very strongly at the end of this year. Love is not negotiable, it is felt and given. And when you don't receive it, or someone puts conditions to give it, it is not genuine love. You have to accept it and go on, no matter how much it hurts. And yes, there are days and days... but what is clear to me is that I can't put conditions on loving myself. I accept my lights, my shadows and also my emotionality. I am not going to reshape myself or be someone else to please others.
Creativity
All the lights of these holidays are on for you, for your creativity. Yes, look, for you who are reading this now, for all that you have done and progressed this year, for your desires, for your projects, for your goals... there will be things behind the glass windows that maybe you can't afford, simple things, even, but they are there to remind us that there is something deeper in what we see, something intangible, like for example the will to prosper, and also the certainty that you are still standing, putting your heart and soul into life. These are just material things. The important thing is the light that allows you to see and enjoy the moments. And that's what you have inside you.
For my part, I feel that this year I faced some fears and with a lot of success. That's good because it gives me a lot of confidence to move forward. I would like to make a big change in my life and I know that at some point I will make it. I know I have to enjoy the journey and that means acceptance and stop worrying about everything I used to worry about. We are vulnerable beings and although I know that we have to prepare for contingencies, I also have evidence that with positivity we always have what we really need at the moment we need it.
I keep working on my patience because I'm not sure who said or wrote it, but the best fire is not the one that is lit quickly.
And so we come to the end. I leave here a big hug and my best wishes for you who have accompanied me until the end of this blog.

Today I visited a church, Pentecostals I think, I went to accompany my mother-in-law who visits them frequently, then, she prepared to sing in the choir of an activity that would recreate the birth of the baby Jesus.
It is a first time event in my life, but the truth is that it felt good.
Somehow I feel that we are recovering the Christmas spirit that should never be missing, not because it is a religious theme, but because it is bringing us closer as people.
Christmas is a space at the end of the year that allows us to remind ourselves that we are family, that there are good people, that we should love and help each other, that we should be united...a moment in which we can stop the problems and absorb a lot of peace and tranquility.
Especially for you to write a million poems and feel light in your soul...bring them to me for Hive, I love them.
Ahh, and my favorite poem is by Carilda Oliver : I mess up love, I mess up...but I know Dulce Maria Loinaz is a monster.
I wish you quiet and peaceful days...as long as Yin comes back.
A hug...🌹🌹🌹🌹
El traductor es un matarife...🙃😂
Te desordenas como Carilda. 😁
How beautiful what you tell me and the peace and calm you felt. I'm relaxing, listening to music, reading... maybe tomorrow I'll go out on my bike and possibly write some poems in these last days of the year.
Something not so intimate, some verse projects for a book I started to put together.
Carilda Oliver is also wonderful. I like her a lot, although I'll always put Loynaz first.
🤗 Thank you.
Poems of yours in physical form?
🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ...I want one...no matter the price.
Your answer sounded from a warm and comfy place...enjoy your time nanixxx.....
Ah!!! That Carilda poem is super sensual and cute...love it.
Nice night my friend
😄 calma, calma...
Buenas noches.

I think many people believe they are happy but deep down are not happy at all; finding happiness isn't about external things alone, it must come from within. I get the impression you are one who finds happiness in genuine places and that makes the happiness and enjoyment you find more valid.
I'm trying to do the best I can. For the moment I have enjoyed this new dawn, warm and with a good cup of coffee, watching how nature doesn't try too hard to be wonderful.
Dawn and coffee...a good combination.
Estas palabras parecen escritas en la soledad frente a una cena de noche buena...el calendario es una ilusión, algo humano que en esencia sirve para organizar el tiempo.... que sea fin de año o 20 de abril no hace la diferencia, es solo un espejismo. Pero en esta ilusión vivimos y está bien pensar, soñar y crecer...
Debo haber comido después de escribir porque la comida siempre me pone perezosa. 😂
Vivimos en el espejismo que elegimos vivir. Cada cual tiene uno propio.
Oye, te mando un abrazo.
Abrazo recibido y guardado en el baúl de mis tesoros...
Hola, querida @nanixxx. Encantado de encontrarte y poder leerte, y disfrutar un mundo con tus ocurrencias, con tus reflexiones llenas de sensibilidad, libertad y verdad, siempre muy vívidas. Un hermoso y vistoso post.
Gracias por referirnos ese post también muy bello de @lizanomadsoul. Y, sobre todo, por traernos a esa poeta cubana que amo, con ese sentido poema suyo. Yo le dediqué un post hace unos dos años; no sé lo leíste. Te dejo el enlace por si te animaras a visitarlo.
No conocía esa comunidad. La tendré en cuenta para alguna publicación.
Recibe un abrazo virtual con el cariño solidario que comporta la Navidad. ¡Felicidades!

Hola, me alegra mucho que pasara por aquí, pues pensaba enviarle un mensaje privado. Gracias por sus siempre bonitas y sinceras palabras. Estas fechas son acogidas por las personas de muchas formas distintas, pero creo que en ellas prima ese sentimiento de acercarse más, de estar un poco más presentes, amables y amorosos. Yo deseo que su año termine con un gran saldo de experiencias vividas, aprendizaje y preparación para nuevos retos. Que no le falten metas ni proyectos en el próximo y que la salud siempre le acompañe. El post no lo leí porque en esa época no había llegado a Hive, pero ahora lo haré, téngalo por seguro. Gracias por compartirlo.
Un gran abrazo y le acompaño en celebrar la vida.
There are so many things... The wounds left by a passionate love, the ones outside and the ones inside (in a way, I envy Yin). The gifts, the smiles, the poetry, the reminders: our inner light, the Christmas lights, a visit to Germany. What can I tell you?
Thank you
Good morning,
Thank you. Is it cold there? Here the sky is grey and the temperature has dropped a bit, but no warm clothes are needed. I'm going to make myself a coffee with milk to warm up. I'm going for a walk.
Why do you envy Yin in a way, because nothing stops him? Or because he has a nurse? 😅
Good afternoon, I take it for granted that you are already out for a walk, and I take it for granted that despite the cold it is being entertaining, to say the least. It's pretty cold here, I think, I just finished work.
And about envy, I hadn't thought about the nurse thing, but it's possible . But, what I envy the most is the passion. I leave you a picture of my office.
Hug.
Hola 😃. ¡Flores!
A hug in return and my best wishes for a good rest.
Passion, yes, it is beautiful and dangerous. But more beautiful than dangerous, I would like to think so.
La pasión es bella, y es vida.
Buenos dias!!
🌞☕
Pásatelo bien 👋😃
Merry Christmas!🎄🎁 Have a lovely festive season and take good care of your amazing soul!
Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful time, and you too take care of your precious soul. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Daughter, I started thinking last night about what you wrote and my eyes watered. Your sister knows you were going to like those lights because you are light too. You know I love you.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mamani, 🙂 ¿ya tomaste café ☕? ¡Qué pregunta, si te despiertas tan temprano como las gallinas! Yo también te quiero mucho mucho.
What an apt reflection on life and creativity you have shared at the end of this post. It is full of learning and evolution, we never stop moving forward, that's the idea. We need to connect more with ourselves, I congratulate you for putting yourself first and not accepting crumbs from others. Sincere and honest love does not condition you, thank you for those words and good wishes. I hope you had a very merry Christmas, I decree you success and another year full of incredible learning for you. A hug @nanixxx 🤗🤗.
Thank you very much for your good wishes, @vezo, may they all come back to you multiplied. A big hug.
Dream, even if the dream is caused by distant lights, but if you can dream it... you can do it. Keep loving yourself!!! Un abrazo Amanda 🤗
We cannot stop dreaming. 🌟
🤗
Seguro que nooo!!!
Gracias otra vez Amandita 👕🚴♀🤗
What a beautiful post full of so much emotion! Gifts.... is true what matters is who gives them, the intention and the smile. Here at home we don't usually give gifts, in that sense, but the best gift is to be together, to be united, the family dinner and in my case to have my cats, my loves! To have those special people that I love close to me and those that are far away ... because those important messages.
Liz's post is beautiful!!!! Those postcards are beautiful and the little dog is pure joy! The poem... never miss the poetry, never!!! Merry Christmas!🎄💗
I am glad that you have such clarity about the important things in life and that every day is a great event for you. I am also happy to share with you what brings me joy and what makes me dream.
Much love from here to you.
🌟
Life is full of details and when you know how to see them... the path is easier. Hug!🤗
