A big hug to all of you, from here I send you all my good vibes with much affection 馃馃挋
Who doesn't like to see another being happy, to bring a smile, to be given a fraternal hug, that's worth a lot and the satisfaction is priceless.
I tell you this because 5 months ago I met a Spanish grandmother, sick with Alzheimer's disease, her circle of friends is very small, she almost never likes to go out, she is always very depressed! She told me that she does not like Christmas because she has very bad memories of her youth, she was the only female and her father was always drunk, he was the comfort of her mother... they were in a situation of scarcity, they never celebrated Christmas.
I decided to give her a little bit of joy in her home, decorating the corner of her fireplace, with a little bit of light and recycled ornaments that other neighbors gave me.
By chance I found a bamboo stick and I thought... with this I'll start her ornament... here's how I did it.
I took the rod and cut it from smallest to largest and took 5 pieces out of it and thus I put together the ornaments that I had been given as a gift.

Un gran abrazo tengan todos, desde ac谩 les mando toda mi buena vibra con mucho cari帽o 馃馃挋
A quien no le gusta ver fel铆z a otro ser, provocar una sonrisa, que te den un abrazo fraternal, eso vale much铆simo y la satisfacci贸n es invaluable.
Les digo esto porque hace 5 meses conozco una abuela espa帽ola, enferma de Alzheimer, su c铆rculo de amistades es muy reducido, casi nunca le gusta salir, siempre est谩 muy depresiva!! Me comentaba que no le gusta la navidad pues tiene mjy malos recuerdos de su juventud, era 煤nica hembra y su padre estaba siempre ebrio, era el consuelo de su madre... sumidas a una situaci贸n de escasez, nunca celebraron la navidad.
Pues me dispuse a darle un poquito de alegr铆a en su hogar, adornando el rinc贸n de su chimenea, con un poco de luz y adornos reciclados que me regalaron otras vecinas.
Casualmente me he encontrado una vara de bamb煤 y pens茅... con esto comenzar茅 su adorno... a continuaci贸n les comparto como lo hice.
Tom茅 la vara y la fu铆 cortando de menor a mayor y saqu茅 5 pedazos de ella y as铆 junt茅 los adornos que me habian regalado.
I tied them together with wax thread, leaving a space between each rod to give it the shape of a hanging tree.
Las amarr茅 con hilo de cera, dejando un espacio entre cada vara para darle una forma de arbolito colgante.
Then I put a little piece of wire to hang it on the first wand, that is, the smallest one.
Luego le coloco un pedacito de alambre para colgarlo en la primera varita, es decir, en la m谩s peque帽a.
Now I start to decorate the tree, for this I took a piece of cardboard for the base of the tree, lined it with some strips of pita I found around and glued it using hot silicone.
Ahora comienzo a adornar el arbolito, para ello tom茅 un pedazo de cart贸n para la base del mismo, lo forr茅 con unas tiras de pita que encontr茅 por ah铆 y lo pegu茅 usando silicona caliente.
I will glue it on the last rod right in the middle of it.
Lo pegar茅 en la 煤ltima vara justo en el medio de ella.
Then I cover the ends with these green garlands with snow details.
Seguidamente voy cubriendo los extremos con estas guirnaldas verdes con detalles de nieve
To hang the balls alternating sizes and quantities from smallest to largest.
Para ir colgando las bolas alternando los tama帽os y cantidades de menor a mayor.
I made a star mold and cut it out of foami (eva rubber) in frosted red to give it more life and color, then I glued it to a cardboard base to give it more volume.
He sacado un molde de estrella y lo recort茅 en foami (goma eva) en color rojo escarchado para darle m谩s vida y color, luego la pegu茅 a una base de cart贸n para darle m谩s volumen.
(
I also made a shiny gold ribbon to cover imperfections in the part that I couldn't cover with the garland.
Tambi茅n le hice un lazo en color dorado brillante y as铆 cubrir imperfecciones en la parte que no me alcanz贸 cubrir con la guirnalda.
For the lower part (on the trunk) I also made a flower with bright tones.
Para la parte inferior (en el tronco) le hice una flor tambi茅n con tonos brillantes.
This is how beautiful my improvised project is turning out, besides adding some gold and red chains.
Asi de hermoso va quedando mi proyecto improvisado, adem谩s de colocarle unas cadenetas en dorado y rojo.
Finally I put an extension of pink lights, I would have liked red and gold but that's what I had, I extended it to the edge of the chimney to place Santa Claus and Mama Claus on golden chains, just below the tree.
Por 煤ltimo le coloco una extensi贸n de luces en color rosa, me hubiera gustado rojas y doradas pero era la que ten铆a, la extend铆 hacia el borde de la chimenea para colocar a pap谩 noel y mam谩 Claus posados en cadenetas doradas, justo debajo del arbolito.馃巹
We turn on the lights and it is beautiful this small and meaningful detail for this sad grandmother, my satisfaction was to see a wide smile on her face and hugging me she said full of feelings: it is the first time that there is a Christmas ornament in my house! That certainly filled me with tenderness and at the same time I understood that it is not necessary to invest money when we want to brighten a moment in someone else's life.
Some people look for happiness and others create it!
Encendemos luces y est谩 hermoso este peque帽o y significativo detalle para esta abuela triste, mi satisfacci贸n fu茅 ver una amplia sonrisa en su rostro y abrazandome dijo llena de sentimientos: 隆es la primera vez que hay un adorno de navidad en mi casa! Eso sin duda me colm贸 de ternura y a la vez comprend铆 que no es necesario invertir dinero cuando queremos alegrar un momento en la vida de otra persona.
Unos buscan la felicidad y otros la crean!
