uemstrongldquo;Santa Claus Doesnrsquo;t like Poor Peoplerdquo;/strong/em/u/p
p
strongldquo;Take care of your brother and sister, I need to go to workrdquo;/strong/p
p
strongMy mother told my oldest sister, as she close the door, I always wonder why my mother had to leave us. /strong/p
p
strongNow I understand that mother worked cleaning and babysitting for this rich family in Mexico./strong/p
p
strongI remember the kids around the neighborhood we did not care about anything only that it was Christmas, so we ran and play on the street./strong/p
p
strongIn ournbsp; neighborhood span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="Piedras" data-scaytid="1"Piedras/span span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="Negras" data-scaytid="3"Negras/span, none of the families had money to buy Christmas trees or Christmas lights./strong/p
p
strongHaving money to pay the rentnbsp; or having food on the table was a blessing./strong/p
p
strongI remember one Christmas we had the idea of making our own Christmas tree, so we went to the hill and we found a dry tree , we started cutting soda cans to decorate the tree, chips bags, we even found some old Christmas lights./strong/p
p
strongWe all put an afford to have our own Christmas tree./strong/p
p
strongThe time arrive to connect the Christmas lights, in our surprised as we plug the Christmas lights smoke and popping sounds took over the tree like it was becoming alive, everyone started to run, no one knew what to do, until my oldest sister grab a broom and disconnected the Christmas lights that almost burn the apartment down./strong/p
p
strongWe clean our mess as we waited for my mother to arrive./strong/p
p
strongIt got dark really soon, I was looking outside thru the window to see when my mother was arriving, I started to see this shadow carrying some bags fornbsp; instance I thought It was Santa Claus, but as the shadow got closer I realize it was my mother carrying bags of food./strong/p
p
strongWe told our mother about the Christmas tree, she disciplined us, but told us she was glad nothing major had happened, and she started to cook our Christmas Dinner./strong/p
p
strongThat night Santa Claus, did not show up with any gifts for ushellip;but my mother show up with bags of foodnbsp; and we ate like Kings and Queens./strong/p

Recuerdo span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="una" data-scaytid="121"una/span Navidad donde se nos ocurrioacute; hacer nuestro propio span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="arbolito" data-scaytid="145"arbolito/span de Navidad, nos fuimos al monte y encontramos una rama seca, empezamos a cortar botes de soda, bolsa de sabritas que brillaran, Tambieacute;n encontramos unas lucecitas de navidad./p
p
Todos pusimos esfuerzo para tener y crear nuestro aacute;rbol de navidad./p
p
Se llegoacute; la hora de conectar las lucecitas, a nuestra sorpresa cuando conectamos las lucecitas empezoacute; a salir humo y el arbolito tronaba como si estuviera vivo, todos empezaron a correr, nadien sabiacute;a que hacer hasta que mi Hermana mayor agarro la escoba de palo y desconecto las lucecitas que casi queman el apartamento./p
p
Limpiamos el cochinero que habiacute;amos hecho mientras esperaacute;bamos a mi ama que llegara./p
p
Se escurecioacute; raacute;pido, yo miraba por la ventana para a ver cuaacute;ndo mi ama llegara, en eso mire que alguien se acercaba con un par de bolsas cargando algo, en un instante penseacute; que hera Santa Claus, pero mientras se acercaba maacute;s la sombra, pude mirar que hera mi ama cargando bolsas de mandado o Lonche./p
p
Le contamos lo que habiacute;a pasado con el arbolito, nos regantilde;oacute; pero nos dijo, que bueno que no pasoacute; nada maacute;s, y se puso a cocinar la cena de navidad./p
p
Esa noche No llego Santa Claus con regalos para nosotros, Pero si llego mi madre con bolsas de comida y Cenamos como Reyes Magos./p
