Gracias a Hive account@soyunasantacruz me enteré de esta iniciativa donde debemos echar los cuentos sabrosos de cómo celebramos la culminación del 2022. Se supone que el fin de año sea de compartir una hermosa cena familiar, bien ataviados con la mejor pinta, llevando a cabo las tradiciones y bailar hasta el otro día, pero; en mi caso, eso no sucedió, eso si, de que disfruté disfruté.

Uno de nuestros clientes La Mina de Oro nos dió la oportunidad de celebrar tal acontecimiento para darle homenaje a mi papá y realmente no esperábamos un recibimiento tan bonito, en la sencillez está lo mejor, aunque su especialidad es el pollo frito su personal se encargó de hacer el plato navideño por excelencia: Hallacas, pernil, ensalada, pan de jamón, también quesillo y bebidas deliciosas mas un cantante muy jocoso y genial que amenizó la tarde.😄🤗

¿Ustedes creen que tuvimos ánimo para arreglarnos?

Pues no, para nada.🤷

NOW IN ENGLISH:

Thanks to Hive account@soyunasantacruz I found out about this initiative where we should explain how we celebrate the culmination of 2022. The end of the year is supposed to be about sharing a nice family dinner, well dressed with the best finery, following traditions and dancing until the next day, but; in my case, that didn't happen, but I still enjoyed it.

A year ago my father passed away and in December 2021 we got dressed up, we got beautiful but the sadness was at the surface of our skin because of what happened, this year that ended a few days ago was different, and what a difference! you will see why:

The normal thing to do for these dates is to premiere clothes to attract good vibes, if you have yellow underwear better because you attract luck and red is passion, it is customary to eat a spoonful of lentils to attract abundance, run with the suitcases of your immediate environment to visualize trips, get on a chair to get married and all that is done just before midnight.

That is the duty to be, as many of you who follow me know I work in a family business which is the legacy left by my father who had the custom of celebrating Christmas - New Year's Eve to his beloved staff and we of course continue to carry out his legacy with all its letters.

One of our clients Restaurant La Mina de Oro gave us the opportunity to celebrate such an event in honor of my dad and the truth is we did not expect such a nice reception, simplicity is the best, although their gastronomic specialty is fried chicken, their staff was in charge of making the Christmas dish par excellence: hallacas, pernil, salad, ham bread, also quesillo and delicious drinks plus a very funny and great singer. 👍😎

So far so good, the staff goes on vacation and we (the family) continue working full time, visiting clients, taking care of administrative issues, and cleaning, painting, and fixing some leaks (not all, we lacked material) I think we lacked the time or better organized, as everything was going we thought we would not do anything to share.

I would like to introduce you to my mother in case you don't know her.

At home, we are not used to shopping at the last minute and with less pressure, everything is always in advance, but this time everything was different, our family sharing was at the workplace, the morning was spent shopping, then preparing everything and cooking our typical Venezuelan dish until late at night, the tiredness was not normal, since we have not stopped any day.

Starting with the preparations for cooking.

I still don't know how to tie the hallacas properly 😅

about 30 hallacas came out!

Do you think we felt like getting pretty to welcome the new year?

No, not at all.🤦‍♀️

Dinner was almost at 22:00 at night, my sister went to sleep because she was not feeling well and she was always in the best disposition to do whatever she had to do but that moment overcame her, my mother with her 77 years has more vitality than many of those who are reading this post at this moment hahaha! And me, ugly and disheveled, the only thing I did was to paint my lips and my mother put on some beautiful red sandals that I bought thanks to Hive, which by the way she wore for the first time dancing with me this special night.

I do not believe in superstitions, I believe in GOD above all things, so as you can appreciate I did not wear new clothes and I did not eat the 12 grapes, I ate bread, and tangerines, we toasted and gave thanks for everything we lived, despite the absence of my only paternal aunt, we called friends and family with video calls to say goodbye to the year. Blessed technology.👍

When we made prank video calls with family and friends from afar to bid farewell to the old year.😄😅
