“It’s the most wonderful time of the year...”, says the song. I really love Christmas. Since I was a kid, I thought they were great days. I remember writing my letter to Father Christmas and asking for presents for all my family. Films, series and cartoons on TV specially broadcasted for these days. All the lights in the streets, the Christmas decorations all around, the Christmas tree and the ‘pesebre’... The big and fat Santa Claus with his sleigh and the reindeers, the three kings... The lottery, the ‘turrones’, all the food and drinks. It reminds me of my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, of Bilbao, of the great ham my grandfather Jaime bought... And, of course, all the presents: buying them, wrapping them up and opened them. I really, really like and enjoy these days.
This year my wife Jéssica and I decided to go to London before Christmas. We really enjoyed it, even though we notice we should have gone a few weeks later if we could. The problem is that we couldn’t because of my work. In the future we hope to repeat and to go back to live the Christmas spirit.
I also love Christmas because family comes together. You spent time with the people you love more. I enjoy every Christmas meal with my family, the same jokes, the same stories again and again. What is really nice is that everybody gets together, laughs, enjoys themselves and for a few hours you are able to forget all your problems.
I know that a lot of people think that is not worth it, they don’t like it because of different reasons. I know that not everybody feels about Christmas as I do, but for me is a best moment of the year.
Today it is the last day of Christmas. I have to admit that I am a bit sad, because it al finishes. The three kings have arrived to our houses and they have left the last presents. Now we will have to put away the Christmas tree and all the decorations until the last weekend of November or the first of December. When time gets I will try to do as every year: enjoy the time before the Christmas holidays and live those days as I was a little kid. My Christmas spirit will always survive.
