Los días pasaban tristes y vacíos en casa nada era igual desde que mi hermana murió, hacía ya dos navidades, desde entonces mis papás se resumieron solo a su trabajo.

Creó que ya no había felicidad y navidad había quedado atrás, desde aquel duró invierno cuando murió mi hermana menor.

La casa permanecía vacía y en silencio, ya nadie hablaba de la navidad ni de nada en familia, era una profunda oscuridad que cada día nos consumía.

Recuerdo aquella navidad cuando regresamos al pueblo natal de mis padres, un frío y apartado lugar donde celebran amenamente durante el mes de diciembre.

El pueblo era muy hermoso y las casas eran brillantes y en cada una resaltaba con cada adorno el verde y rojo, que tanto avivan las decoraciones de esta época.

Mientras paseaba encontré entre tantas casas la más iluminada y decorada, está era grande y se veía que era habitada por una familia feliz quien le daba vida.

Quería irme pero seguí merodeando por el lugar, había una ventana abierta y entré pensaba que la casa estaba sola, pero sorpresa me encontré con una niña de mi edad que me invitó a pasar.

Ella era muy amable y me invitó una taza de chocolate caliente, típico de esta fecha ella me mostró toda la casa y en cada lugar había una decoración hermosa y diferente.

Al final de la noche ella me regaló una hermosa tarjeta de navidad, me contó que eran hechas a mano por su hermano mayor y que ella amaba cada una de estás.

Agradecida por su detalle, me sentí feliz pues tenía una nueva amiga en el pueblo, desde hace años no había podido consolidar nuevos amigos debido a mi constante tristeza.

Llegué a casa y como siempre mamá y papá habían salido a algún lugar, era víspera de navidad y la casa de los abuelos se sentía triste y vacía.

Encendí las luces y colgué la tarjeta en el frondoso abeto, tome una galleta de jengibre y me fui a dormir, junto al osito de peluche de mi hermana.

La mañana de navidad me desperté feliz y fui corriendo a la casa de mi nueva amiga, de camino, pase a una tienda con mis ahorros y le compré un par de patines, porque Emily me había comentado que le encantaba patinar.

Al llegar toque a la puerta, un señor con una larga barba blanca me recibió, me invitó a pasar y amablemente me invitó una taza de chocolate caliente.

Yo miraba a todos lados y el me preguntó a quien buscaba, le dije sin titubear - a su hija, mi nueva amiga-.

El señor me miró extrañado, la verdad parecía no entender, yo vi una fotografía de ella sobre la chimenea y le señale que era ella.

El señor se hecho a llorar y enseguida me dijo: - es imposible, ella es mi hermana y murió hace 40 años, una noche de navidad-.

Yo no lo podía creer, deje caer mi regalo y salí corriendo a casa, me encerré en mi habitación recordando a mi pequeña hermana, quien también había muerto una navidad.

Mi abuela servía la cena cuando alguien tocó a la puerta, fui a abrir y hay estaba el señor de la casa iluminada, quien traía el regalo.

Lo invite a pasar y a cenar en casa, por primera vez después de tantos años habíamos podido estar juntos en navidad.

Luego de la cena, le pedí al señor que me llevará al cementerio a ver a su hermana quería llevar el regalo que con mucho cariño, había comprado para ella.

Caminos hasta el cementerio y llegamos a su tumba, su hermano dejo una tarjeta y yo dejé el regalo, él me contó que Emily habia muerto patinando al quebrarse el hielo y que esa navidad no pudo entregarle su tarjeta.

Fue muy triste escuchar esa historia, la tarjeta de navidad que dejó para ella, era un detalle especial, guardamos silencio unos minutos.

Casi al llegar a casa le conté que mi hermana también había muerto en navidad, cuando intentaba colgar un adorno en el viejo árbol del patio y la rama se rompió.

Desde entonces todos en casa decidimos olvidar, pero está navidad he aprendido que nunca podemos olvidar a nuestros seres queridos que ya no están.

Llegué a casa, invite a mi familia a abrir los regalos frente al árbol de navidad, tome la tarjeta y al abrirla habia un mensaje que decía: "nuestros seres queridos los guardamos en nuestro corazón".

Desde entonces celebró la vida y la navidad, nunca dejo de enviar tarjetas a mis seres queridos en esta época y de visitar a mi hermana y mi nueva amiga en está época decembrina tan cargada de amor y paz.

Christmas card

The days passed sad and empty at home, nothing was the same since my sister died, two Christmases ago, since then my parents were reduced only to their work.

I thought there was no more happiness and Christmas had been left behind since that harsh winter when my younger sister died.

The house remained empty and silent, nobody talked about Christmas or anything else in the family, it was a deep darkness that consumed us every day.

I remember that Christmas when we returned to my parents' hometown, a cold and secluded place where they would celebrate Christmas in the month of December.

The town was very beautiful and the houses were bright and shiny and each one highlighted with green and red decorations, which enliven so much the decorations of this time of the year.

As I walked around I found among so many houses the most illuminated and decorated one, it was big and I could see that it was inhabited by a happy family who gave it life.

I wanted to leave but I kept looking around the place, there was an open window and I went inside thinking that the house was alone, but surprise I found a girl my age who invited me in.

She was very kind and invited me a cup of hot chocolate, typical of this date she showed me the whole house and in each place there was a beautiful and different decoration.

At the end of the night she gave me a beautiful Christmas card, she told me that they were handmade by her older brother and that she loved each one of them.

Grateful for her detail, I felt happy because I had a new friend in town, for years I had not been able to consolidate new friends due to my constant sadness.

I arrived home and as usual mom and dad had gone out somewhere, it was Christmas Eve and the grandparents' house felt sad and empty.

I turned on the lights and hung the card on the leafy fir tree, took a gingerbread cookie and went to sleep, next to my sister's teddy bear.

Christmas morning I woke up happy and rushed to my new friend's house, on the way, I stopped at a store with my savings and bought her a pair of skates, because Emily had told me she loved to skate.

When I arrived I knocked on the door, a man with a long white beard welcomed me, invited me in and kindly invited me to a cup of hot chocolate.

I looked around and he asked me who I was looking for, I told him without hesitation - his daughter, my new friend-.

I saw a picture of her on the fireplace and pointed out that it was her.

The man started to cry and immediately told me: "it is impossible, she is my sister and she died 40 years ago, one Christmas night".

I could not believe it, I dropped my gift and ran home, I locked myself in my room remembering my little sister, who had also died one Christmas.

My grandmother was serving dinner when someone knocked on the door, I went to open it and there was the man with the lighted house, who was bringing the gift.

I invited him to come in and have dinner at home, for the first time after so many years we had been able to be together at Christmas.

After dinner, I asked the man to take me to the cemetery to see his sister, I wanted to take the gift that I had bought for her with much affection.

We walked to the cemetery and arrived at her grave, her brother left a card and I left the gift, he told me that Emily had died skating when the ice broke and that Christmas he could not give her his card.

It was very sad to hear that story, the Christmas card he left for her was a special detail, we were silent for a few minutes.

Almost as soon as we got home I told her that my sister had also died on Christmas, when she was trying to hang an ornament on the old tree in the yard and the branch broke.

Since then everyone at home has decided to forget, but this Christmas I have learned that we can never forget our loved ones who are gone.

I came home, invited my family to open the presents in front of the Christmas tree, took the card and when I opened it there was a message that said: "our loved ones we keep in our hearts".

Since then I have celebrated life and Christmas, I never stop sending cards to my loved ones at this time and visiting my sister and my new friend in this Christmas season so full of love and peace.
