Thoughts on my life at Christmas 🤔🌲⏰️ (ENG - SPA)
A time of retrospection and introspection
As I grow older the meaning of Christmas has been transforming like my body, as a child it was my favorite time of the year, from the middle of the year I looked forward to it, I loved everything, the colored lights, the decorations, the joy of the people, the traditional food and sweets, the music, the new clothes and of course the gifts, everything was wonderful at Christmas.
As I grew up and discovered that Santa did not exist and that my parents made a great effort on these dates, my Christmas became a time of restrictions and limitations, my happiness was reduced to Christmas food and sharing with my loved ones, I became an adult and it became a time of work, a lot of work and compulsive cleaning, from the beginning of the month the house is painted, dust is removed, everything is repaired, decorated but more out of habit than for Christmas itself.
I remember that at the end of Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, I was so exhausted that I did not even want to take a bath or get ready, but I did it to complete the Christmas ritual, with a slight satisfaction of looking around me that everything was clean and tidy, I even washed the last garment that was used on December 31 to receive the New Year without anything dirty. Dead tired, but everything impeccable.
I no longer have the same health for those obsessive cleaning marathons and the meaning of Christmas keeps changing for me, I no longer have important loved ones by my side, my grandparents, uncles, some cousins are no longer on this plane and although I have Duke my pet with me it is inevitable to miss those who left, like teddy and misufu, I miss all those living beings.
So my Christmas has become nostalgic and reflective, I feel grateful to have my parents and siblings with me, I feel lucky and I see how fast time has passed, I look at my parents every day older and I reflect on my life what I have lived and stopped living, I am no longer young and even artificial intelligence realized heh, heh, heh, in the images I share with you there are wrinkles and expression lines, furrows that reflect the passage of time.
I feel that I got very distracted, so the reflection is to focus on what is important, preserve your health, apply cream on time preferably from the age of 20 🤣😜, thank you for reaching the end of these lines, I wish you to love Christmas with the same illusion of a child but with the wisdom of an adult.
This is my participation to the Christmas contest! Created by @thoughtfulposts, you still have time to participate by capturing your reflective thoughts about Christmas.

Reflexionando sobre mi vida en navidad 🤔🌲⏰️
Época de retrospección e introspección A medida que me hago mayor el sentido de la navidad se ha ido transformando como mi cuerpo, de niña era mi época favorita, desde mitad de año la esperaba con ilusión, me gustaba todo, las luces de colores, la decoración, la alegría de la gente, la comida y dulces tradicionales, la música, la ropa nueva y por supuesto los regalos, todo era maravilloso en navidad.
Al ir creciendo y descubrir que santa no existía y que mis padres se esforzaban mucho en estas fechas, mi navidad se transformó en una época de restricciones y limitaciones, mi felicidad se redujo a la comida navideña y al compartir con mis seres queridos, me hice adulta y se volvió en una época de trabajo, mucho trabajo y limpieza compulsiva, desde inicio de mes se pinta la casa se sacude el polvo, se repara todo, se decora pero más por costumbre que por la misma navidad.
Recuerdo que al final de nochebuena y fin de año, estaba tan agotada que no quería ni bañarme y ni arreglarme, pero lo hacía para completar el ritual de navidad, con una leve satisfacción de mirar a mi alrededor que todo estaba limpio y ordenado, incluso lavaba la última prenda que se usaba el 31 de diciembre para recibir el año nuevo sin nada sucio. Muerta de cansancio, pero todo impecable.
Ya no tengo la misma salud para esos maratones obsesivos de limpieza y el sentido de la navidad sigue cambiando para mí, ya no tengo a mi lado seres queridos importantes, mis abuelos, tíos, algunos primos ya no están en este plano y aunque tengo a Duke mi mascota conmigo es inevitable extrañar las que se fueron, como peluche y misufú, a todos esos seres vivos los extraño.
Entonces mi navidad se ha vuelto nostálgica y reflexiva, me siento agradecida de tener mis padres y hermanos conmigo, me siento afortunada y veo lo rápido que ha pasado el tiempo, miro mis padres cada día más viejos y reflexiono sobre mi vida lo que he vivido y dejado de vivir, ya no soy joven y hasta la inteligencia artificial se dio cuenta je, je, je, en las imágenes que les comparto hay arrugas y líneas de expresión, surcos que reflejan el paso del tiempo.
Siento que me distraje mucho, así que la reflexión es a enfocarse en lo importante, conservar la salud, aplicarse crema a tiempo preferiblemente desde los 20 años 🤣😜, gracias por llegar hasta el final de estas líneas, te deseo que ames la navidad con la misma ilusión de un niño pero con la sabiduría de un adulto.
Esta es mi participación al ¡Concurso de Navidad! Creado por @thoughtfulposts, aún tienes tiempo de participar plasmando tus pensamientos reflexivos sobre la Navidad.

Yes, Christmas does indeed change for us over time. When the boys were little, it was great fun, wrapping gifts, decorating, big family meals. Now it's more about spending Christmas Eve with family, but also spending a quiet day at home on Christmas watching basketball games all day.

A life lived! I too feel nostalgic and long for youth, whilst accepting my age as best I can. Christmas just feels awkward and depressing these days. Much love to you 💘
I identify with what you say.
I used to not look at myself in the mirror, I hardly ever did, that's why I'm surprised to recognize myself in photos with my changes, I have to look at myself more often to accept and love those changes.
