Hello, I welcome you to my blog, dear inhabitant of the Hive and Empower Talent community.
Today the topic to talk about is the celebration of Christmas, and this is a topic that is generally beautiful for most people.
In my case, you already know that this is not the case because this time brings back very painful memories that, no matter how much I want to, I cannot leave behind because these dates always remind me of the loss of beings as valuable to me as my parents who died. at this time and my best friend when I was a teenager.
So this is something that, although I have tried and spoken with many psychologists and worked for more than 30 years on these issues, it is difficult that when I hear Christmas music and the whole atmosphere of the little tree and all that, I do not remember in any way my loved ones.
It is very difficult to see a tree, hear a Christmas carol, see other happy people and know that you cannot share that moment with the person you love so much, which in this case is my mother and my best friend Julio.
But anyway, I don't want to tarnish this publication by telling you a lot about this, but rather by telling you that currently, despite these memories, I celebrate Christmas trying, as much as possible, to taste all those gastronomic wonders that we have.
In fact, right now I'm saving up as much Hive rewards as I can so I can treat myself to a ham loaf on my table, because it's something I enjoy.
That delicious ham bread with bacon, raisins and cream cheese, the truth is it is a delight that I cannot resist. I already know that due to my health condition I should not commit these excesses, but it is the month of December and this is only once a year that I can enjoy this delight, this deliciousness and the hallacas and the buns.

I'm also trying to collect some rewards so that, even this year, I can eat a hallaca, since last year I couldn't enjoy even one due to the financial situation.
*
So any donation in Hive or HBD that you want to make to help me buy even a loaf of ham and a hallaca or a bun, I will receive it with great affection.*
This year it also provokes me, to remember old times, to have a glass of wine by my side.
Let's see if I can get it or at least a sangria to enjoy quietly here while I do what I usually do every year, which is spend time watching Christmas at Madison Square Garden in Japan.
I like to see how people celebrate these traditions in different parts of the world and, to do so, I turn on the webcam and listen and see, because the cameras currently have audio connected too, how they celebrate and what the Christmas atmosphere is like in these big cities.
In India too, it is very interesting to see what the culture of these people is like in other countries and what are the gastronomic delights that they share.
For me, everything that has to do with food is one of the great pleasures for me, and especially when there are traditional dates like this, I love exploring new flavors, and especially in the main meals and the part of the desserts, which are usually very rich.
Here in the country we know that we have all the typical sweets that I am not going to name because I like to talk about other cultures, explore other cultures and not explore the one that I already know and already enjoy.

And for all those who want to hate me, **I do eat my hallaca and my buns with mayonnaise and tomato sauce**, I love them and I'm not going to stop doing them 😂.
This year I want to try something that they named me and that is quite rare, which is trying hallacas with sugar 😂.
So this year I'm going to try it and I think it's going to be a good experience, because if raisins combine with hallacas, why couldn't sugar combine? So this year, if I manage to buy a hallaca or someone gives me a hallaca, I'm going to try it to see how it tastes with sugar.
And well, this is what I can say about the Christmas celebration.
I hope that you celebrate it in the way you enjoy it most, with music, without music, with friends, without friends, in your homes, calm, but that you enjoy it in your own way because everyone must live life according to their principles and under their arguments, under their preferences, above all that is what freedom is for.
So I wish you a happy holiday and, above all, a lot of health, tranquility and peace in your homes.
**Remember, I receive my bonus in hive/hbd in my wallet, which is kindly waiting for you like an alligator 🐊 in start of river! 😃**
