My weekend celebrating Christmas 🎄🎅.

Spending Christmas for me has become a riddle for a few years now, where spending Christmas has become something not as joyful as before, I was used to spend Christmas with the whole family, but when the heads of the family are not there it is not so much fun and now everyone spends it at home.

This Christmas we were invited to my husband's friend's house where we had a great time, they are 6 and we are 5, so we decided to share together and spend a different Christmas with family and friends.

Before dinner we started with the delivery of gifts 🎁, here no one was left without a gift, no matter the material however a gesture always fills a heart with joy, so with small details we started a good night's eve.

After giving the gifts and enjoying with laughter and gratitude for all those beautiful details received, we moved on to one of the traditions that we enjoy and long for all year, as is the Christmas dinner.

Our dinner was accompanied by delicious Hallacas, Pan de Jamón, pernil and a delicious chicken salad, as well as the good company of our friends.

The Christmas dinner is very important for us, remembering that God is the one who provides our food and giving thanks because He has not been lacking in these years and asking that He not be lacking in our table, nor in any food for the coming year, a time of thanksgiving and reflection.

A moment of a good toast is also needed, so we were able to toast for happiness, health, family and for all the good wishes for this new year that is approaching.

We had a nice evening as the guys also played some live music, they made our night and we were able to enjoy ourselves as a family and the kids got to know each other a little more since we had some time without sharing all together, that is why Christmas is a time of friendship, reconciliation and closeness.

Among all of us we have different cultures and beliefs, but Christmas is that time where we all have empathy for each other, it was the first time we shared Christmas with our friends, they are Italian and we really had such a good time that we have arranged in a few days to meet again and share again all together.

Many times the family is far away or simply not there, and friends become family, that family that we long for so much especially when we are far away, creating bonds of friendship are not formed overnight, only when we can share pleasant moments like this weekend and many that have already been forged.

Merry Christmas #hive and weekend friends!!!🎄🎅
