The things I enjoy most about Christmas ❤ | #267
Ever since I was a child, I've always loved Christmas. I've always seen this time of year as something that changes the world; everything seems to be perceived in a completely different way, the world feels entirely different. Although I must confess that I didn't have the best Christmas celebrations since I grew up in a terrible family environment, the few Christmases where there was no violence I enjoyed to the fullest; they were the best. And since becoming a mother, I've begun to love Christmas even more, and I always try to make this time just as special for my son, but this time even better, since I've never made him feel sad during such an important celebration.


And that has made me appreciate and enjoy many things about Christmas; there are so many that I can't explain them all in words because some things simply exist only in my mind and my way of seeing the world. But I'll try to explain.

I enjoy seeing the decorated streets; even seeing Christmas lights in a window fills me with joy and hope. My Christmases feel very intense because they bring back a lot of nostalgia for different stages of my life, and seeing lights in the streets reminds me of the nights I played at my grandmother's house where even the lampposts had Christmas lights. I also remember the extravagant decorations they put up in the buildings where I lived with my mother; there wasn't an apartment without its Christmas lights in the window. I loved sitting at night in the courtyard watching the buildings.

I enjoy food, especially the typical Christmas food from my country, which I find delicious, but we also take the opportunity to buy other things and eat like crazy at Christmas.



I enjoy celebrating twice as much because my son's birthday is in December, and we've always tried to make sure he enjoys each year in one way or another, making his day super special.


And it makes me happy to spend time with my family, some years with my husband's family and other times with my mom at our house. I love having my mom here because I feel like I'm reliving my old Christmases, but in a different way. By the way, the girl in this photo is my husband's aunt, not my mom, haha.

And although my Christmases have been marked by extremely traumatic events, I've learned to let go of that and to love Christmas again despite the dark days that bring back bad memories. It's ironic that in this month that I love so much, I lost my father. But honestly, I think it was the best thing that could have happened.
I also enjoy decorated street and the family that always come home during Christmas.
The decorative lights, delicious food, your child's birthday, and enjoying time with your family, even with sad memories, undoubtedly fill the holiday season with joy. Have a lovely afternoon,
