Bitter sweet CHRISTMAS.

I am from Venezuela. A country located on the north of south america. Probably you do not know the current events that we are living here. But let mi tell you a bit, because I don´t want to bother you.
The goverment, which calls itself socialist, has more like communist ideas. During the las two decades we have been suffering food, medicine and almost everything shortage. This year, and specialy, this cristmas day was horrible.
We were not able to make any of our traditional foods and drinks because of the communist ideas of the goverment. We almost have nothing to eat or drink. However, my family decided not to allow this situation to affect us.
We would have liked to have a wonderful christmas as most of you, I am sure, had. But in spite of the facts I told you, we struggled to make our cristmas dinner with the few ingridients we had. We took the decision of not allowing the goverment to affect our traditions or our cristmas spirit. We won´t let them succeeed. Unfortunately I do not have any pioctures, because, at the beginning, we were not in the mood, to tell you the truth. It is not easy folks.
