Hola Hive, nuevamente por aquí con ustedes, porque recientemente vi una iniciativa en la comunidad de @family-friends en donde habla de la navidad y esta época me gusta bastante. Entre todas las preguntas siempre hay una que nos gusta mas, yo escogí esta "- ¿Qué tradiciones tiene tu familia para celebrar la navidad." porque me hace recordar mi tiempo con la familia, porque es importante recordar todo lo bonito que he vivido y mi hija esta haciendo igual, aunque la familia es muy importante.

Mi familia es muy corta, en Venezuela era mis padres y hermanos, pero con el tiempo cada quien tomo su camino, entonces paso a ser mi esposo y mi hija, aquí en este país es igual, aunque en oportunidades algunos amigos y primos nos acompañan. Cuándo la familia se reúne es lo mejor, siempre recuerdo que en casa de mi madre nos preparábamos muy bien, por un lado nosotros de pequeños con los estrenos y mis padres con la comida y música, en un tiempo era mucho mas divertido, recuerdo que fue antes de pasar la crisis de Venezuela, nos acomodábamos y hacíamos de todo para la noche buena.

Mis padres se encargan de las hallacas, no hay nadie que los que de eso, además no les gusta que le ayuden, así que nosotros solo nos ocupábamos de limpiar la casa, aunque sinceramente soy mas floja, pero siempre lo había y eso me hacia sentir bien, luego de todo listo nos bañábamos y nos disponíamos a cenar para luego salir entre amigos. En la actualidad hago los pasos de mis padres, pero aquí soy yo quien se encarga de las hallacas, no quedan tan perfectas como ellos, pero hago el mejor de los intentos, este años espero disfrutar al lado de mis padres de estos días venideros, aunque extrañando a mis hermanos.

What traditions does your family have to celebrate Christmas?


Hi Hive, here again with you, because I recently saw an initiative in the @family-friends community where it talks about Christmas and I like this time of the year. Among all the questions there is always one that we like the most, I chose this **"- What traditions does your family have to celebrate Christmas. "** because it makes me remember my time with the family, because it is important to remember all the beautiful things I have lived and my daughter is doing the same, although the family is very important.

My family is very short, in Venezuela it was my parents and siblings, but over time everyone went their own way, then it became my husband and my daughter, here in this country it is the same, although occasionally some friends and cousins accompany us. When the family gets together is the best, I always remember that in my mother's house we prepared very well, on the one hand we were small with the premieres and my parents with food and music, at a time it was much more fun, I remember it was before the crisis in Venezuela, we were accommodated and we did everything for Christmas Eve.

My parents are in charge of the hallacas, there is no one to do that, plus they do not like to be helped, so we just took care of cleaning the house, although honestly I am more lazy, but there always was and that made me feel good, after everything ready we bathed and we were ready to have dinner and then go out with friends. At present I do the steps of my parents, but here I am the one in charge of the hallacas, they are not as perfect as them, but I make the best of the attempts, this year I hope to enjoy next to my parents of these days to come, although missing my brothers.

La navidad de nuestros hijos

Our children's Christmas


Venezuelan traditions are very diverse, but at home we had a very particular one, which was to always buy chocolate cake for the 24th at night, because the 25th is my mother's birthday, then we surprise her with a cake, we also like to pray before dinner, although my mother always does it since she has not instilled them, but little we do it nowadays with the family, we also liked to be in pajamas after midnight since santa must arrive since we made gifts among all of us. Family is beautiful and very important to me, I wish I could relive that again, here I am doing well, but I miss my family, the street where I used to live and the neighbors, believe it or not.

The music at home could not miss, although from 2012 to the present everything changed, it happened on December 25 of that year in celebration of my mother's birthday, her father died, that is my grandfather, from that day everything changed, then came the crisis, migration and among them I also went with my family. Everything has influenced the Christmas of Venezuelans, which every day they stop to give the best and continue, also have a merry Christmas despite the shortages, the best is the smile of the children and the family that is united.

Thank you for reading my story of my family's customs, as well as their traditions, something I miss very much, family is the best and that fills me with pride, even though I am not expressive with them, they know I love them. See you friends, thanks for reading my publication, I always like to express what I feel.
