It’s been about 12 years since my grandmother passed and she had the tradition of laying the baby Jesus right at midnight. For 12 years I asked my mother if we could take over and she said no because my aunt in Mexico took over for my grandmother. This year my aunt got more sick and I lost her due to COVID, she was my moms baby sister and it was so hard on my mother. When my aunt passed the fist thing my mother asked was to take over this tradition. I asked my mother if she was sure because she’s not much of this part of the tradition, I wasn’t sure if she was ready or emotionally stable.
The day my mom asked me to be the godmother of this baby Jesus I was filled with joy. Those who carry this tradition know the true responsibility that comes with it all! And now after wanting this for 12 years I get to carry my grandmothers tradition for the rest of my life. With all the bad and stress this year brought to my family this Christmas is very special in its own way❣️
Unfortunately covid hit hard in our hearts we lost an uncle and an aunt, and I can’t thank god enough for healing from covid my 2brothers, 3nieces, 1nephew, my sister in laws sister nieces and mother, my nieces dad and his entire family, my boyfriend, my father and mother in law, and my sister and baby brother in law.
This year has left a lot of damage and with distance a lot of love and unity in its own way and I can’t wait for the change we are about to experience ❣️🥰
Marry and Blessed Christmas to all🎄🎉
