Leaves, missing only hours to go in 2008. The joy of having completed the year with most of the objectives met a year ago, is a very good feeling, but not as usual.
Christmas has always meant in my case, a bit of nostalgia, and on this occasion, there may be different as well, because my chest is full of memories and inclinations at this time.
Christmas in Caracas has always been accompanied by the many twinkling little lights that people put in the windows of their apartments and houses, the CCCT giant San Nicolas and Christmas Cross going on at the Avila year after year.
Nor can miss the first leg with Jurg and my nephews Daniel and Christian to buy the Christmas tree, which is purchased and installed with the usual dedication and detail of my sister who takes Silvia each adornito, cleans and provides in groups on the ground, for later installation.
joined some time ago, and today Raquel enjoys it and even better, the tradition of Caribbean pine, and then turn on each Sunday in December, the Advent wreath , Raquel with exquisite thoroughness, to know to be read with each candle lit, every Sunday, and so holding hands every Sunday we light a candle, with an allegorical reading.
This year we bought our own Christmas tree, Raquel days before and that took its adornitos day our house was filled with family, who put the joy Caracas, garnished with the obligatory hallacas, turkey, leg of pork, and Fresh French wine Beaujolais Nouveau , new traditions built, to the extent of the possibilities, which are not always many.
also has become a family tradition to go see Claudita in the ballet Nutcracker each year is more beautiful, and every time their participation is more important, this time it was an angel, dream of the day you tell everyone that my baby is an extraordinary dancer.
Each year, school friends, the usual, we met at the end of the year, to celebrate Christmas. Always been done where Wachi and Monica , which are home that has always, this time was the same, the presence of all, confirmed the great affection that exists between everyone, because we've been friends for over 30 years now.
The Christmas party ahead of Silvia and Jurg is always an excellent event, soulful, familiarity and gifts, the screams and overflowing emotion is overwhelming and I connect with my sisters, nephews, brothers and fathers.
The 24 organized a wonderful Christmas dinner at our house, with relatives who did not leave the road, Rachel (mother) and my father José Vicente , Sun, Tapies, William, Nata, Otto and Ana Paul a. Receive the Child Jesus for the first time in our house, listening to Christmas music in Venezuela, filled with joy and with the candles lit the Christmas tree.
The Clubbing The Ron Kopus not failed, 30 as every year (now). La Carlota is the thing, there in a family home, where they have not given the unsafe city, the Mall of pure consumption, fatua Artificial Snow, Jingle Bells and unique anthem. We sang until dawn, with a rum taparita to clear throat, four, drum and maracas, and many songs of my country. The surprise is always finding how people at home get excited, come to sing, and offer a Roncito or Rummy, a hallaquitas, a nougat, or simply a smile. This annual event is well incorporated and Cheo Diana, we invite our friends each year.
Today, in a few hours, ends. With wigs, to the English take the grapes, toasted the New Year, we sing that "I do not forget the old year" and "Missing 5 pa las 12", and keep my promise to Maria Elena listen to the song at the end of the year, I connected with it.
're almost ready, I see the Christmas table that my Raque prepared emulating his father, grapes, and fruits, with Toronto, walnuts and hazelnuts, to call the abundance, the smell of Canadian pine, and candle lit pesebrito against all together, all together makes me feel once more in my chest, that Christmas thing, that thing on 31 December.
So, after a year in which consolidated Much of what we wanted, a happy year in which not lacked for work, which we moved to the site we wanted, which we consolidate our union before the law and before God, and that health is not left us decided to celebrate Christmas and New Year.
