Christmas is a magical time of the year when the streets are decorated with lights, the scent of gingerbread and pine needles is in the air, and hearts are filled with joy and anticipation. But the most important thing is the time when families come together to celebrate this special holiday.

Christmas has always been a special time for me. It’s a time when the whole world seems to be filled with warmth, even in the coldest winter. Every detail – from the sparkling garlands on the Christmas tree to the frosty patterns on the windows – creates the same atmosphere of magic that I strive to capture in my work.

Christmas is a special time when the world around us changes. Everything becomes so cozy and full of magic: the flickering of garlands, the smell of a Christmas tree, the frosty air that burns your cheeks… But the most important thing for me is the feeling of warmth in the heart that special people give.

Every time Christmas approaches, I think back to my childhood. During these holidays, our house was filled with warmth, the aromas of tangerines, pine needles and, of course, my mother’s pies. It was a time when even ordinary things seemed magical.

Every Christmas, my grandma would give the same type of gift: socks. Thick, wooly, practical socks in varying shades of beige. As a kid, I was less than impressed. “Wow, socks... again,” I’d say, trying to sound grateful while my cousins unwrapped cool toys and glittery dresses.

Argentina is a country that attracts attention with its vibrant culture, endless tangos, and the passion with which its inhabitants approach life.

The coziest, most magical time of the year, filled with lights, warmth, the smell of tangerines and cinnamon. But this year it’s completely different for me. I’m alone. And this feeling, like a cold winter wind, penetrates even those corners of the soul where holiday joy usually resides.

Did you know that one of the most famous Christmas melodies, *Carol of the Bells*, wasn’t originally about Christmas at all? Surprising, right? 🎶 It was inspired by *Shchedryk*, a Ukrainian folk song that celebrates the arrival of spring. The lyrics speak of a swallow flying in to bring news of the new year, which, centuries ago, was celebrated in spring. So maybe spring, not winter, is the true season of renewal and magic. 🌱✨
