Magic, family, and an unforgettable dinner | Magia, familia y una cena inolvidable 🍴

ENGLISH VERSION (click here!)

Hello, friends! How was your week? Mine was pretty quiet, with little work but getting back to normal. On the other hand, I want to share a little bit of my Christmas Eve with my family.

Like every December 24, our house is filled with joy for the arrival of Christmas. While my mom cooks the traditional ham and cheese breads, I make the chicken salad. We always have bread with malt for lunch, which is a tradition we keep up year after year and is also a delicious combination.

In the evening, almost the whole family gathered at my grandmother's house for dinner. The only one missing was my aunt Nolis, who is in Argentina with her three children. My grandmother pushed several tables together to make one long table so that we could all sit together. We served the Christmas dish, along with another dish, which was scrambled rice.

We always have dinner early and not at midnight as most Venezuelans do because my grandparents cannot eat so late and we must take care of them. We also thank God for the food and for keeping us together. My sister Noelys gave the Christmas Eve speech, always filling us with faith and hope.

We sat in front of my grandmother's house to talk a little, tell some stories, and the girls received their gifts from Santa and waited for the birth of the Baby Jesus. Once December 25 arrives, we give Jesus a little kiss, each member of the family, and make a wish, so that he can fulfill the desires of our hearts.

The best thing about the whole year is being able to enjoy Christmas with my loved ones and create memories that will last forever, because even though December brings back the people we love, they may not be here next Christmas, which makes me appreciate every moment twice as much.
