Today begins the last month of the year and Christmas decorations surround me everywhere I go. I have always been a person who loves Christmas, the meaning of the birth of Jesus, the sharing of the end of the year with family and even the more commercial aspects of the season such as Santa Claus, snow (although I have never experienced it) and all kinds of songs, both popular Christmas music and the great pop hits of the decembrinos. Yet my last two Decembers I knew the famous “Sad Christmas”, one where my little family and I suffered the slights of having a sick person at home and another that was the first December without that special person. I have healed a lot this year and I am again trying to recover that feeling that has always characterized me in these dates, although now I see life with some wisdom that the experience has left me.
I think I feel the way these pictures look. Everything looks very nice, but I took them very late, they were about to close the mall, but there was a chance to appreciate the Christmas decorations. It seems that I am decorating myself through the music and the Christmas lights that I am putting up in my house, and although I have been feeling good, I think there will always be a feeling of emptiness inside me now, and it is that my dad took part of my soul the day he left this world, but I have understood that he would want me to be happy, it is the only thing he wanted since I was born, so I have to be happy and I have to help myself. It is a difficult year, because now that I have been able to heal a little I have to accompany my wife who is about to live the first Christmas without her dad. I can't believe they are both gone so often, but she was strong for me last Decembers, so I have to be a pillar for her this season.
It is inevitable that this month arrives and I start thinking about the rest of the year. The first and most important thing is to see all the good things I achieved in 2024, life really surprised me a lot, many beautiful things happened, things that I never imagined and that came to me in the midst of my deepest sadness. On the other hand I have noticed some bad habits that now dominate me and that I have wanted to change and I have not started yet. I have already proven to myself my commitment and how disciplined I can become when I desire something with my heart, so now that I have recovered that special spark I must focus again. I am also older, I feel that the events I experienced the last couple of years aged me a bit, and I mean physically, as I have discovered that my soul was simply in Stand-By. There are many things I want to do, and it would be disrespectful to myself not to focus on it when I have the availability of time, health and the desire to do it. I have been slowly modifying my life, but the year is running out and I see that I have been a bit slow, it is time to speed up the process...
Christmas has always brought out the best in me, and it is in December that I lived my best moments since I can remember. My parents taught me to give priority to the true meaning of Christmas and through music we brought a lot of joy to many people, especially through music. Not only did we sing Christmas and New Year's mass, but we visited the sick, the grandparents in the old people's homes, we shared food with our guests, and all those good things attracted good things too, people were also like that with us, and at the time of greatest economic crisis in my house there was always someone to lend us a hand, especially at Christmas. I keep this teaching that my parents gave me, I do not want to deviate from my essence, and in fact I have realized that the change I need today is very much like the first things I learned in childhood, when there was no malice in me and when I did not have the ability to detect malice in others and everything was nice. I'm not doing so bad at self-discovery and finding my emotional stability, but by being aware of what keeps me from it I think I have the tools to move that process forward. It's strange, Christmas moves my soul, it always has, maybe I just have to carry it with me the rest of the year 🙏
Do you feel good when people smile and are kind to you?
If the answer is yes, then why don't you do the same?
Smile at life and it will smile at you...
El ambiente decembrino se ha colado por tu ventanal!! Es una fecha hermosa Jesús; espero que puedas disfrutarlo a plenitud y que la nostalgia detone solo los recuerdos más bonitos junto a tus seres queridos. Los más bonitos!! 🌠🌟🤍
Gracias bro! Tengo muchas expectativas para este Diciembre, y es que las navidades anteriores me costó sentirlas, pero sé que ya todo se ha transformado para bien. Gracias por pasar hermano, deseo lo mejor para ti también 🙏🏽

Gracias a Dios en mi casa lo primero fue Dios siempre, y aún lo es, creo que eso fue lo que nos ayudó a superar la verdadera adversidad ahora que nos llegó. Muchas gracias por compartirme esto hermano y espero que otros puedan leerlo aquí también ❤️
Dios primerooo que bellooo. Hermosa semana hermanito! 🙌🤍
Hello, my dear friend, I identify with you, this December my grandmother will be three years since her departure and at the end of January my mother will be two, I keep them in mind and I try to live as they taught me without ceasing to be me, they both loved these dates and I know that the last thing they would have wanted was to see me sad for their absence, my consolation is that I will see them again.
It is very good to evaluate ourselves and notice that we have attitudes to change, it is up to all of us to change or improve. Greetings, it was a pleasure to read you
Wow, what happened to you was really strong. At least our parents were starting at year, and still the last December was fierce for me soul. But I have reflected a lot, it still hurts, but I am finding tranquility in the middle of the chaos that was left. Thank you for sharing your anecdote, comments like this helped me at the time, especially of my beloved people from Hive..
This is one of the most awaited dates by everyone, from the first day until the 31st of that month and feels another atmosphere and especially begins to be more colorful and it is nice, despite the mistakes, the lack of people in the family group, you do not have to lower the spirits, rather give the best, because the only thing that will remain that memory of this Christmas. Surely you will be able to carry it all, since behind every moment lived, there will be a memory.
December was my favorite month of my entire life. I know that I have felt bad the last two, but it seems that it is possible to recover that magic, that is what I have been working on, in addition, you have to be strong and transmit joy to others, everyone has experienced mourning in a different way. Thanks for being here David, I hope it is a great end of the year for you too...
Todo eso te da fortaleza para cerrar un gran año.
Look at everything you have done and the people who have supported you, who have stood by you. They are many blessings. Your father is proud of you.
Nice pics.
Thank you very much Nanix, that's how it was and that's how I feel. Now I need to bring some joy to others, that was my nature before Chaos. It has been a good year, and thank you for being one of those people who always supports me, even if it is from a distance, but your messages came very clear...
Sorry to hear that your Christmas season this year is going to be different without your father-in-law. I think the important thing we can do in circumstances like that is to remember the person and cherish the wonderful memories that we had with them. They are not forgotten but we can reflect on the impact they've had on us in our lives and try to do the best to move forward with the impacts they've had on our lives.
Hopefully this year turns out to be a good December for you!
Hello again! Thank you very much for stopping by. Yes, death has been present the last two Decembers, but perhaps that is why I am more prepared this year to face its consequences. I have felt good, so I will help others feel good too despite the sadness. A hug for you my friend! 🙏🏽
You will see how this December will be full of beautiful things and you will end the year like never before! A big hug!🤗
That's what I want, for the year to end as well as it began. Thank you for your words and for your constant support, surrounding yourself with people with good vibes like you brightens the soul...
We make each other's souls happy, that's what we're here for! 🤗
December is a month that overflows with emotions and feelings, nostalgia, joy, gratitude, sadness, endless emotions accumulate, but the most important thing is to share with those you love and be thankful for another year of life 🙏
That decoration is really cool, now they really did a great job haha 😍
Yes, you have said the most important thing. All those feelings are present, but sharing those days with family is something magical and I think that deep down it is what most of us need. Thank you very much for your words my friend...
