I have felt very fortunate to have been able to be present with all the family and friends I have here in Puerto Vallarta and neighboring villages during all this december.

I have a lot of people I love who live in other cities, countries or even continents and I couldn’t see them for the Christmas hug because I haven’t developed teleportation skills yet and I might not be able to do it.

Without stopping to work at Alalibre and in the dance classes, I had to drink some extra coffee to try to go to all the Christmas parties I was invited. Unfortunately I couldn’t go to all of them, so I apologize for the Christmas parties I was asked to attend and didn’t go to. I’m glad I was able to see through social media how much fun you all had at these parties.

I know that some of you didn’t have such a great time, or recently lost a loved one. To all of you who have experienced this, I send you a double hug and, even if it’s from a distance, I offer you my support remotely. You might know that in my family’s case, our Batman’s grandmother is still alive but with very very bad health, and that’s why I can feel what you are going through. And although I went to many parties, I spent the Christmas eve at the batcave (That’s where Batman’s grandmother lives) and I felt asleep beside her bed.

For those of you from the Tango community in Puerto Vallarta , we also lost recently Albert, one of the pioneers of Tango in Vallarta. So I send a warm hug to his wife Barbara and to all of Puerto Vallarta‘s Tango community.

But the idea of ​​this post is to cheer up hearts, so I’m sharing with you some happy Christmas moments that I experienced here at the ranch. Have a nice time and always remember to give a little something to all those people who have been behind you, loving you and supporting you.

The rains are less frequent, the humidity is low, and the surrounding mountains are spectacularly green, allowing you to admire photo-worthy landscapes everywhere.

Merry Christmas

🎅🎄 I wish that you have spent a warm and cousy Christmas and that you have managed to be happy, or yet better to bring a moment of happiness to your loved ones or at least to the people around you that you sometimes don’t perceive.  That was my case:

Disguised with some of the Santa Claus hats that I have used this year and in previous years, I went to Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta and Punta Mita to greet some of the people that I see on a daily basis among hotel entertainers, waiters, hostesses, Trash pickers, maids, baristas and others to give them a brief surprise. I asked them to introduce their hand in a Christmas boot and take out the first thing they touched, which was a candy, a chewing gum, peanuts or a chocolate. Then I asked them to introduce their hand in another Christmas boot from where they pulled out a small toy or school accessory. (A Toy Kitten, A ball with the Avengers or Moana, Hello Kitty’s crayons, Jumping Ropes, etc.) I know they are adults and that they are not asking for toys but I also know it’s important to reconnect with our inner child.
