Greetings, Community,

We all have our daily routines, though sometimes things happen that pull us out of them. May those moments—the ones that break our routines—be great learning experiences.

What is your biggest challenge when it comes to preparing for the holidays?

The season is approaching—that time of year when we all find ourselves rushing around for our family and friends. We want to please everyone and make everything perfect—from the food and decorations to the little gifts—ensuring that the people we care about feel truly special.

Let’s make sure our efforts come from the heart, rather than just following habit or societal expectations—even if that means trimming our gift lists.

For me, the biggest challenge this year is financial. In the past, I always felt confident that I would have enough resources to prepare for the holidays and share with others. Even if I’m just making simple, everyday dishes, ingredients still cost money. I’ve always liked to ensure there’s plenty—enough to go around, with some left over for the next day.

I trust that great and wonderful blessings are coming this year, and that this financial challenge can be viewed as yet another opportunity to practice faith and trust.

If you could spend New Year’s Eve anywhere in the world, where would you go?

If I said an exotic country, I’d be lying. I would love to spend New Year’s Eve in the town where I was born. I’d fix up my parents’ house a bit—make it livable again (it’s currently for sale)—and wait for my siblings to join me. I’d especially love for my brother—who lives in that same town—to be there.

I want to keep him company during this stage of his life, set up a space for him where he feels comfortable, and help him rediscover, if only for a few moments, the joy that still lives within him.

We could sit outside the house, chat with the few neighbors who still live nearby, and gaze up at the sky—which is always so beautiful this time of year. Remembering our parents, their traditions for New Year’s Eve, my father’s smile and his signature expression—nojoda—as well as my mother’s kindness.

Saludos Comunidad

Cada quien en sus rutinas diarias, con algunas que nos sacan de ellas. Igual que sean de mucho aprendizaje las que nos dicen que salgamos de las rutinas.

¿Cuál es su mayor desafío de preparación para las fiestas?
Se acerca, se acerca esos días donde todos de alguna manera nos afanamos frente a nuestros familiares, amistades. Queremos cumplir con todos y que todo quede perfecto de acuerdo a nuestros ingresos, comida, decoración, detalles para esas personas que queremos que se sientan bien.

Que no sea por costumbre, porque la sociedad así lo hace ver, en este caso porque de verdad sale del corazón, así quitemos personas de la lista.

El mayor desafío este año para mi es la parte financiera, en otros, anteriores siempre me sentía confiada con lo que llegaba y se podía abastecer y preparar para compartir. Así sea preparar platos sencillos sin ser de la época, igual se requiere para los ingredientes. Siempre me ha gustado que no falte nada, que haya y quede para el día siguiente.

Confío que este año vienen bendiciones muy grandes y agradables y este desafío financiero pueda ser visto como una experiencia más de confiar.

Si pudieras pasar la Nochevieja en cualquier parte del mundo, ¿adónde irías?
Si digo que en un país exótico, miento. Me gustaría pasar la noche vieja en el pueblo donde nací. Arreglar un poco la casa de mis padres para esos días (ponerla habitable), (está a la venta) esperar a mis hermanos que puedan acompañarme, sobretodo y en especial al hermano que vive en esta ciudad o pueblo como quiera llamarlo.

Hacerle compañía en esta etapa de su vida, arreglar un espacio para él, que se sienta cómodo y reviva por unos momentos la alegría que hay en él.

Sentarnos fuera de la casa, conversar con los pocos vecinos que por allí viven, mirar ese cielo tan bello en estas fechas. Recordar a nuestros padres, sus tradiciones para esta noche vieja, la sonrisa de mi padre y su palabra muy particular //nojoda// y la amabilidad de mi madre.

    Apreciada @mercmarg, creo que la mayoría de los venezolanos estamos así, confiando en Dios, para que nuestra situación financiera mejore y podamos pasar un momento grato, con nuestra familia.

    Que lindo que quieras pasar tiempo de calidad con tu hermano, que por lo que escribes, lo necesita en este momento. Dios obre en sus vidas🙌🏼

    Dear @mercmarg, I think most Venezuelans are in the same boat, trusting in God that our financial situation will improve so we can spend quality time with our families.

    It's wonderful that you want to spend quality time with your brother, who, from what you've written, needs it right now. May God work in your lives. 🙌🏼

    The season of Christmas is centered around giving, however giving of time, or of things handmade can often be more rewarding for both the giver and the receiver than anything one might purchase at the store.

    Thank you for sharing and hav a lovely day! !LADY

    There's no place like home.
