When I was a little girl I was looking forward to Christmas, I wanted to go through toy stores and stores in search of gifts and new clothes, one of the things I liked the most was to wear new pajamas on the new night to go to sleep and then in the morning to look for and open my presents.
When I grew up a little more the illusion was the premiere of clothes, for some strange reason Christmas began to sadden me a little, but as I mature and remember that I have a home, a family that loves me, a job, food, among other things I think what I have more is a great gratitude, both for what I have and for what I do not have.
Cuando era una niña esperaba con ansias la navidad quería recorrer jugueterías y tiendas en búsqueda de regalos y ropa nueva, una de las cosas que más me gustaba era estrenar un pijama nuevo la noche nueva para irme a dormir y así en la mañana buscar y abrir mis regalos
Cuando crecí un poco más la ilusión era el estreno de ropa, por algún motivo extraño la navidad comenzó a entristecerme un poco, pero al madurar y recordar que tengo un hogar, una familia que me ama, un empleo, alimento, entre otras cosas creo que lo que más tengo es un gran agradecimiento, tanto por lo que tengo como por lo que no.
My mother and my grandmother always took great care to make us feel and know how beautiful Christmas is, a date to celebrate the arrival of the Child King in family unity, it is a time of reflection, of union, my grandmother liked to have the house in white for that date, my mother was in charge of decorating and giving that musical atmosphere.
Now, although they are gone and I will miss them during this Christmas, I want to celebrate them as they liked, so although I cannot change the decoration of the tree as I would have liked and as many times we did, I can still decorate my house, listen to Christmas music and have dinner with my husband and son to celebrate and above all remember them and my mother-in-law who also departed.
Mi madre y mi abuela siempre se esmeraron por hacernos sentir y saber lo linda que es la navidad, una fecha para celebrar la llegada del niño Rey en unión familiar, es época de reflexión, de unión, a mi abuela le gustaba tener la casa de punta en blanco para esa fecha, mi madre se encargaba de decorar y de dar ese ambiente musical.
Ahora, aunque ellas ya no están y les extrañaré durante estas navidades, deseo celebrarlas como a ellas les gustaba, así que aunque no puedo cambiar la decoración del árbol como yo hubiera querido y como muchas veces lo hicimos, puedo igual decorar mi casa, escuchar música navideña y cenar junto a mi esposo e hijo para celebrar y sobre todo recordarlas a ellas y a mi suegra quien ya también partió.
Christmas is not about gifts and nice decorations, it is the union between human beings, to evaluate ourselves and see what we achieved this year and be thankful that we are about to start another one, it is to remember that God sent his son to save us, it is to enjoy with the ones you love, to leave aside the differences and remember that our time on this earth is fleeting and it is not worth wasting time on meaningless nonsense.
It is true that it is nice to see in the streets, stores, malls and our home decorated, there is no doubt about that, I love to see how my tree looks when I have finished decorating it, see how its lights illuminate my living room, but that is something accessory not the main thing we could say that is the frivolous part of this date.
La Navidad no son los regalos y las lindas decoraciones, es la unión entre los seres humanos, el evaluarnos y ver que logramos este año y agradecer que estamos próximos a empezar otro, es recordar que Dios envió a su hijo para salvarnos, es disfrutar con junto a los que amas, dejar a un lado las diferencias y recordar que nuestro tiempo en esta tierra es fugaz y no vale la pena perder el tiempo en tonterías sin sentido.
Es cierto que es lindo ver en las calles, tiendas, centros comerciales y nuestro hogar decorado, de eso no hay duda, yo amo ver como luce mi árbol cuando ya he terminado de decorarlo, ver como sus luces iluminan mi sala, pero eso es algo accesorio no lo principal podríamos decir que es la parte frívola de esta fecha.
On the other hand, here in Venezuela a series of dishes are prepared between sweets and salads that are allegorical to these dates, such as the famous hallaca, dulce de lechosa, chicken salad, pernil and my favorite, ham bread, which is what I most enjoy eating during these holidays in fact I already tried the first ham bread this year and I simply loved it.
In short, Christmas is and will be the most precious holiday for me, thus ends my participation in the Ladies of the Hive Community Contest #159.
Por otro lado, aquí en Venezuela se preparan una serie de platos entre dulces y saldos que son alegóricos a estas fechas, como la famosa hallaca, el dulce de lechosa, la ensalada de gallina, el pernil y mi favorito, el pan de jamón, que es lo que más disfruto comer durante estas fiestas de hecho ya probé el primer pan de jamón de este año y simplemente me encanto.
En resumen, las navidades son y serán la fiesta más preciada para mí, así termina mi participación en el Concurso Comunitario Damas de la Colmena #159
The world always focuses on the retail end of Christmas and not the true meaning. May your celebration this year be filled with joy; joy of family and joy of faith! Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day!
That's right, unfortunately Christmas has become a time of consumerism and empty things, it is good to remind those around us that it is more than that.

Let me say what's on my mind before I forget "you have a beautiful smile". Okay now, I can say anything else.... You are right, Christmas is love, one thing I love about Christmas is the connection it gives. Connecting friends, families and neighbours. I love that vibes.
Thank you for making me smile and yes the cute Christmas vibe is one of the nicest things we can feel.
Yeah, Christmas is the best season for me and my family,we always look forward to it.
It's a special season because we are reminded of Jesus Christ birth which is the paramount reason for the season.
So, it is a time to be united as a family and give thanks for the arrival of our savior into the world.
I also love Christmas season a lot. It's a time I look forward to because it's a time of thanksgiving and sharing of gifts for me.
So it is the perfect time to give thanks for so much that we receive every day.
Yes that's true
Christmas was also my favorite holiday before, but it hit differently now cause my mom passed away a few months ago, and its forts time that she can't be with us during Christmas anymore.
Anyways, I am hoping and praying that you can have a very bless and happy Christmas with your family :)
My grandmother died on December 9th, this year it will be two years since she left, we celebrated that Christmas because we were sure that she is in a better place, besides she would not have wanted to see us sad, on the other hand, on January 31st of this year my mother died and I know that she is with my grandmother, they would like to see us happy and for that I will celebrate, I miss them, very much, but even with sadness and tears from time to time I must continue and I am sure that your mother would want the same.
That is what they say, "Jesus is the reason for the season." God's free gift of salvation to everyone in the world.
Thanks for sharing @actioncats
That's right, that's why, sadly, many around the world forget and focus on the banal.
