Lo que s铆 puedo decir es que es una de las mejores 茅pocas del a帽o para m铆, desde peque帽a mis padres ten铆an la costumbre de compartir en familia 6 hermanos y hermanas, mam谩 y pap谩, la abuela y alg煤n t铆o o t铆a y cualquier otra persona que llegara a la casa, en la mesa siempre hab铆a un lugar m谩s y si no hab铆a se abr铆a un espacio.
Luego todos crecimos y cada uno form贸 su propia familia y nos seguimos reuniendo como siempre esta vez con m谩s gente ni帽os, y sobrinos la familia creci贸 mucho. Despu茅s de unos a帽os eso se perdi贸 un poco, porque en Venezuela cada quien vive con sus propias circunstancias, la situaci贸n muy dif铆cil y apenas alcanza para hacer alguna celebraci贸n, as铆 como antes donde hac铆amos hallacas, pan de jam贸n, pollo relleno, refrescos, vino, nueces, panet贸n y otras comidas que sol铆amos compartir en nuestra mesa. Algunos de mis hermanos se fueron de Venezuela, as铆 como amigos, mi abuela muri贸, mis padres se separaron y cada uno tom贸 caminos distintos, por lo que todos pasaron la Navidad en casa.
Todo se complic贸 a煤n m谩s con la pandemia, ah铆 perdimos esa parte de la reuni贸n familiar en gran medida, s贸lo nos quedaba hacerla en casa, con alg煤n conocido que quedara.
Cuando les cuento a mis hijos c贸mo eran las Navidades de antes, se asombran porque entonces viv铆amos esos valores familiares que luego se perdieron. Sigo tratando de que mis navidades sean bonitas con mi peque帽a familia.
Ahora estoy fuera de Venezuela en un lugar donde puedo tener una cena navide帽a como antes pero ahora extra帽o a mis padres, a mi hijo mayor, a mis sobrinos, a mis hermanos y nada es igual.
Puedo decir que m谩s all谩 de tener una cena navide帽a est谩 el hecho fraterno de estar junto a la familia y amigos, de darnos un abrazo, de re铆rnos de nuestras ocurrencias y de sentirnos en familia.
Echo mucho de menos a mi familia, s贸lo puedo verlos en videollamadas y no puedo evitar que se me escape una l谩grima y desearles una Feliz Navidad.
What I can say is that it is one of the best times of the year for me, since I was little my parents had the habit of sharing as a family 6 brothers and sisters, mom and dad, grandma and some uncle or aunt and anyone else who came to the house, at the table there was always one more place and if there was not a space was opened.
Then we all grew up and everyone formed their own family and we continued to get together as usual this time with more people children, and nieces and nephews the family grew a lot. After a few years that was lost a little, because in Venezuela everyone lives with their own circumstances, the situation is very difficult and barely enough to make any celebration, like before where we used to make hallacas, ham bread, stuffed chicken, soft drinks, wine, nuts, panettone and other foods that we used to share at our table. Some of my siblings left Venezuela, as well as friends, my grandmother died, my parents separated and each one went their separate ways, so everyone spent Christmas at home.
Everything got even more complicated with the pandemic, then we lost that part of the family reunion to a great extent, we only had to do it at home, with someone we knew who was left.
When I tell my children what Christmas used to be like, they are amazed because back then we lived those family values that were later lost. I still try to make my Christmases beautiful with my little family.
Now I am outside Venezuela in a place where I can have a Christmas dinner like before but now I miss my parents, my eldest son, my nephews, my brothers and sisters and nothing is the same.
I can say that beyond having a Christmas dinner there is the fraternal fact of being together with family and friends, giving each other a hug, laughing at our own occurrences and feeling like a family.
I miss my family very much, I can only see them in video calls and I can't help but to shed a tear and wish them a Merry Christmas.
I say goodbye wishing you all many blessings
