Intermédiate I # 50109

Production Unit 5 My name is Natalia García Callejas

For the family the most desired date is Christmas, because there

we have the opportunity to get together all, for this date we

meet at grandfather Fernando's house who is the sweetest in the

world. My sister Sonia comes with her family from Medellin,

my brother Carlos with his family from Bogota and the rest of

us are here in Villavicencio.

In this celebration we talk about everything without exhausting

ourselves, we see our children playing and most important of all

the happiness of our grandfather Fernando for having all his

family has no description is the most motivating of all.

As we are all in different cities, we meet by video call months
before to arrange everything related to food, drinks, decoration
and so on. They send money and I take care of everything
together with my cousins and nephews here in Villavicencio.
We love to go shopping and buy everything related to the
celebration, we have almost everything ready days before so
that when the family arrives there are no unforeseen events.

Before starting any celebration on that day, Grandpa Fernando

offers the opening words, and it is there where he, with a voice
cracking with emotion, gives thanks to our Heavenly Father for
having his family reunited once again, gives thanks that we all
enjoy good health and above all asks in advance for his
Christmas gift for the coming year, and that is to have the
opportunity to meet again.
The food offered is for all tastes turkey, meat, fritters, custard

and sweets for children, only the grandfather has exclusivity

and must eat white meats on the recommendation of the doctor

and that is why he prepares a delicious salmon.

The gifts are important on this date, but years ago the adults decided that gifts

will only be given to children are the most important, taking into account that

we have spent two strong years because of the COVID and has many in the

family the economy decreased a lot, that is why this decision and we adults are

clear that the most important thing is to be together to embrace and share with

Grandpa Fernando.
