Creando nuevos y saludables recuerdos Decembrinos - Creating new and healthy memories for the holidays.

Well I had taken a vacation from Hive, because December for me is a very emotional time and when I'm emotional I can't get my ideas in order or my creative side loses its course and motivation to be honest, in fact I've been on the platform for two years and I'm about to turn three years and I've never published on December hehe, why, I'm kind of a Grinch haha and it's not that I hate Christmas, not at all, actually I really like it, just that during my life I have had very bad moments at that time and with time emotionally I close myself a lot.

But of course, since I became a mom I changed a lot all this I felt for Christmas, I mean, I still have mixed feelings, but in my home with Luna I am the most Christmas mom haha, we decorate, we put the tree, we make the letter to Santa, I want her to live a Christmas full of magic, love and illusion, as I feel it should be a childhood in those times and I want Luna to go through all that I did not have, so little by little with her I am healing that part that I carry inside my heart.

I started the letter to Santa when Luna was 4 years old, since one year ago we were working on the fine motor part, she already knew how to draw some objects, I told her about Santa and told her that we had to write a letter to him, as she did not know how to write, I told her that Santa could see the drawings, in one night Santa traveled around the world leaving gifts for the children in the Christmas tree. Seeing her little face full of emotion when she heard that made me very happy, since then the tradition of writing letters to Santa began. Until this Christmas when she was 6 years old and she already knew how to write and it was her first written letter, that made me very excited, she leaves it in the tree and the next day she wakes up excited checking to see if Santa took it.

Particularly me, since I have Luna, I like to spend the Christmas holidays quietly, that is to say without so much fuss, a family dinner, without putting so many premieres, well only for Luna haha, to her if I like to put something nice for that day, but without spending so much on unnecessary things, just a very good meal with your loved ones, a toast, a little music sitting in front of the tree and that's it, waiting for Luna to fall asleep to place her gifts on tiptoe and just wait for the next day to see her with her sleepy little eyes running to the tree to see what Santa brought her, I think this part of Christmas is what I like the most, seeing her little face of illusion, seeing her believe that Santa exists and that there is magic in the world fills me a lot, I feel her happiness through her.

But this 24th I had to spend it at my mother in law's house, since my partner and I take turns every year to spend it at home and the following year at his mom's house, so we have to follow their traditions at home and they uncover gifts at 12 at night, of course we distract the children away from the tree and place the gifts quickly before they come back haha, The magic continues, they run to see what he brought them, but I did not hesitate to leave some gifts to uncover at home the next day hehe, as I like to receive Christmas, breakfast with the family, watching Luna playing with her new toys.

Something particular that happened before the 24th is that my partner happens to take Luna's bicycle that has been stored for months, because it is big and still did not reach the pedals, but now if you get, just needed the auxiliary wheels to start learning, so he took it one night when the light went out at home and left a letter in Luna's bed, I didn't even know haha, I was outside with Luna waiting for the light to come on and when it did, we went to her room, Luna found her room a little messed up and a letter on her bed haha, it was a letter from Santa that said that he had taken her bike for his elves to repair it and he would return it to her at Christmas, Luna couldn't fit in her own body with emotion and amazement haha.

I loved that my partner also participated in all this to keep the magic of Christmas intact in our family, so I take this opportunity to thank @edwardstobia for that beautiful gesture she had with Luna, even the next day, playing with some neighbors she couldn't wait to tell them that Santa had sent her a letter and had taken her bike, it was so cute hehe. And I think this is what Christmas is all about, to believe, to thank, to keep hope alive, that we can be better people, we can protect children and leave them beautiful memories, where they can take refuge when difficulties come, a time to unite the family, create traditions together and be passed from generation to generation, of course, if they wish so.

And well, at the end of the year, I like to make a kind of party with my family, cook something delicious to spoil them, share, laugh, dance, sing, there if I like the fuss haha, have a good time and wait for 12 anxious, excited to embrace and wish each other the best, explode with joy and tears. Receive the first day of the year with much happiness, hugging my Luna, wishing to be better for her, hoping to feel that I am doing well, that everything will be fine and that every December that passes, my memories will be these, these new memories that I am creating with my new family, heal my past and no longer close myself so much in these times.
Happy New Year, dear friends, many successes and blessings to your families.
