The party of Saint Lucia tells us that Christmas is coming

When the current month of December seems that the whole world discovers another way of life, everything becomes colorful and you start to talk about peace, celebration and expects Christmas to be in the family and hope something good and positive. 

Christmas is near, we open our hearts and our hands

13 December is celebrated Saint Lucia and in several countries children start to receive the first gifts and make resolutions to behave well throughout the year.

The tree and the crib begin to glow and create the right atmosphere that leads us to live the birth of baby Jesus as an event that renews us and changes us inside.

It's important not to forget about those who can not live in the same way and will not have any presents, every gift that is done should be used with care and respect and where you can, try not to close their hearts and their hands, giving a hand to those who have our own fortunes.

I wish everyone to enjoy these moments and to color one's heart with the colors that we have made in December.
