The carnival of emotions
Since I was a little girl the arrival of Christmas has been for me a carnival of emotions, it is a season full of colors, laughter, gifts, lights, family togetherness and a rebirth of my illusions with the arrival of baby Jesus.
By letting my emotions fly, the first thing I do is prepare my heart to receive baby Jesus, in the days near Christmas eve, I reflect on my actions, on how I have behaved with the people around me, especially my family; and on December 25th day of the birth of Jesus I give thanks for all that I received during the year, life, love, health, the people in my life and of course the beautiful family that he has given me. That is why when I see the colored lights that illuminate the manger and the Christmas tree I resemble thousands of little pieces of paper that fall on my home blessing me and my beautiful family.
