Remember the Good Memories
In Honduras we celebrate Christmas
with all of the family
on the 24th of December.
Christmas in my childhood was different.
Now
The Christmas Spirit
Does not exist.
*
But
In my family
We did not lose the traditions.
My grandmother always has the Christmas Spirit.
She is responsible for all the traditional food.
The tamales.
The chicken sandwiches.
The Christmas colors are red and green and gold.
*
In my house at Christmas
it was very different from my childhood.
We did not have much.
Memories of my sister who died.
Memories of my parents who left long ago.
I was filled with sadness.
But
I try to remember the good memories.
My grandmother would want me to be happy.
Always.
