Hello friends of hive PH it is a pleasure to greet you, Christmas is almost here and I would like to talk about how mine have changed over the years with the passing of time everything changes, life changes, children grow up and Christmas has a different meaning.

Christmas more than a good religious holiday is about sharing with the person and close friends, but above all it is about the children that illusion of the baby Jesus bringing you gifts or Santa Claus coming down the chimney is the way to keep the innocence of a child of course this while they are smallwith time they themselves realize that it is mom and dad who buy the gifts.

I have always loved Christmas in my country, the bagpipes are the traditional music of the season, they start in October, they could be heard in the media and that filled me with emotion, as I don't have money to spare hahaha with months of anticipation I was buying gifts for the baby Jesus for my children, the clothes that they are going to wear for the first time because that day everything had to be new.

I used to wait until midnight on the 24th to deliver the gifts, we used to exchange gifts with a secret friend, it was a lot of fun because we were watching the details that were left under the tree, the only tradition that remains in time is the Christmas dinner, but everything changes, people grow and evolve, the economic situation is different but the Christmas spirit is not lost because I always invent myself depending on how the economy is, the important thing is not only about material things but also about sharing Christmas.

I think the pandemic has changed the way of thinking in many people, especially in my case it is more important to enjoy with the family, it is not about the material value of the gift but the gesture or the intention, now my children are grown up, walking through a square with Christmas decorations is very exciting and fun, especially with smartphones and internet you can share moments in real time for those who are in different places, although it is not the same as physical contact, but it feels good.

Last year I prepared at home an exchange of chocolates, we knocked down a piñata and the Christmas tree is not full of gifts of baby Jesus because everyone grew up now there are only two girls who are the daughter of my niece, others migrated this year death touched our family although life goes on is not the same, however I already have in mind a way to spend Christmas as a family that is fun I know they will love it.

At home we prepare hallacas which is the traditional dish for Christmas dinner that day for me is not so important the clothes but the family, I would like to invite Hive account@eli18, Hive account@nara61 I wish you a Merry Christmas have a super mega good time with loved ones.
