It had been quite a few years since I last received the new year in my hometown.
Much has changed, including people and places, but families keep doing their best to keep traditions alive.
It's a good thing to have as many members of the family together. These are the times where sibblings, cousins and other relatives build memories and unbreakable links.
Nothing like working together in the preparación of the traditional hallacas
Competing recipes provide plenty of chances for anecdotes and jokes.
The tedious task becomes entertaining and time flies when everyone contributes something to the making of the New Year Dinner
I went shopping for ham break, but did not get a good one.
One of my nephews was luckier and found a big one.
My sister came to fix my mothers nails
My brother and my sister-in-law prepared a cake.
Simple, but delicious.
My mother has been feeling well and that has been the best news of the year. After many years without sharing the end of the year, we finally could and it has been great.
My brother called for an early dinner (9pm).
So, we tried to be ready early. The little ones as it is usually the case now, were not ready to eat early. They were too busy fooling around.
My mother has already had hers at 6. Old habits are hard to change. She went straight for the dessert.
Some of the traditional Christmas ingredients of our traditional dish were missing, but everything we had on the table was delicious.
We wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year!
Que bonito que la hayas podido pasar en familia y que tu mami se sienta bien y feliz rodeada de sus hijos u nietos!
Todo lo que prepararon se ve delicioso!
Que tengas un feliz año y mucha abundancia y salud para el 2025!🙏🏻🎉🎊

Preparar la cena navideña es fuerte, debe ser un trabajo mancomunado. Yo me divierto cuando la hacemos entre toda la familia y amigos. Feliz año 2025.
Feliz 2025, @marilui91
Así es, cuando toda la familia se suma, cualquier tarea es llevadera y divertida
