4TH PLACE
@mariavargas
https://peakd.com/hive-124452/@mariavargas/venezuelan-hallaca-is-my-favorite-christmas-food-or-contest-62-ladies-of-hive-esen
"I want to tell you about my experience linked to the Christmas dish and the Christmas tradition in general is the gift of sharing. My grandmother used to take part of the hallacas to family, friends and some neighbors every December 25th. I remember that she would put together combos of two or even five hallacas, depending on the number of family members who would receive them. And so, my father, my mother, my little brothers and sisters, my grandmother and I would go out on the trip to the Pontálida city, Rubio, capital of the Junín municipality in the state of Táchira. During the trip, which lasted more than an hour in the vehicle, the pleasant delivery began.
The most satisfying thing was to know that the day was being brightened for children and elderly people who perhaps did not have the possibility of eating a Christmas dish due to lack of resources."
5TH PLACE

"Although it sounds repetitive, I cannot fail to mention our typical Venezuelan dish at Christmas, the long-awaited find a meal that was born in colonial times, when the slaves prepared it with the leftovers from their masters' meals, This preparation has different styles and ingredients, depending on the area, But Christmas in Venezuela without the Hallas, loses all essence."

"Each year when we get home, we make sure we find a project at home and execute to make Mama happy. One year, we put floor tiles in a part of the house she wanted to be tiled, (even if that area can survive without tiles) 😆. Another year, we changed her generator to a bigger one, changed her refrigerator to a big deep freezer, changed her Television to a smart TV, what else? 😆. We just find something to do to make her happy. Who knows want she needs this year? 😂 It's going to be fun, all the way."

"My mother is having a health problem that is holding her back and she constantly needs help with anything. She was a very active and determined woman, she was always going from one place to another without restrictions. But now we must be her children helping her, accompanying her because she cannot stay alone. This is a reason to stay close at home. I hope that this time will pass, and she will improve her mobility. Leaning on God who always strengthens us."
"In many homes today it is an excess to think about all this, because the prices of each ingredient are expensive. Last year we couldn't make it, but we got together as a family and shared another meal and had a great time. This year, God willing, we will be able to enjoy this traditional meal together."

Congratulations to our Winners of #62 and from what I've read it was an absolutely tough choice to make, kudos to @justclickindiva for a job well done!
Thank you so much. Yes, it was a tough choice with so many outstanding entries. I learned a lot from the ladies in the community about their holiday travel and food traditions. It was fun to read their experiences. From beautiful home decor to awesome food spreads, it was a delightful week.
I especially remember the holiday hardships that so many have or have had this time of year due to circumstances beyond their control. To heard their struggles, and it reminded me that I'm blessed with just minor arthritic aches and pain. I'll not forget their stories. I felt that I've made new acquaintances on Hive. As they all wished me a good holiday, I sincerely hope they are able to enjoy their family this holiday season and into next year.
I appreciate your kind words. Take care, and have a happy New Year.
