This coming weekend is a very special one. We, argentinians, are celebrating our 200th Birthday, so
Happy Birthday to us!There are as many ways of celebrating birthdays and happy occassions as there are people on this planet. But one way to do it can be to
indulge in what we
really like doing.
What about taking some time to sit down with our loved ones, all tucked in together under a warm blanket, and enjoy a
story, a nice
book, a
photo album -almost a relic these days!- or a
family anecdote?
What about some
craft - making jewellery, painting wooden boxes or even knitting? What about making a
collage, or even a
quilt, sewing or sticking together pieces of cloth, paper or photos to tell or remember a story we are all familiar with?
What about a
talent show with family and friends once dinner is over? Everyone can prepare something to give to the rest as if it were a present, and in the meantime share some marshmallow, por corn or
pastelitos de dulce!What about
cooking,
playing cards, a
board game, or just
watching a movie together?
What about...just
hanging out ...
together???
Hope you have a lovely long weekend,
wherever you are,
whoever you are with,
whatever you choose to do to
celebrate the birthday of our nation!
Just
remember to take the time to plant
story seeds in your
fields, so you can share them and cherish them in the years to come! There is nothing as sweet as sweet memories!
So long!
