Let your heart be light
From now on
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years
We all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years
We all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now

I’m Venezuelan and when I migrated to NYC from my hometown Caracas by the end of November 2018, almost Christmas time, it sucked a lot to see everybody around me with their families while I was all alone. The details in this video just made my heart melt and I even laugh at the fact that you indeed leave your big house in Venezuela for a tiny little space in NYC.

Para nosotros los venezolanos ya es Navidad. Nuestra Navidad es un sentimiento que se va acrecentando desde Octubre, mes en el que nuestra vida se va llenando de luces, alegrías, reflexión, nostalgia, familia, renovación, perdón y mucho amor familiar. Recuerdo que para la Nochebuena se nos enseña a perdonar a quienes durante el año hemos apartado. Pensándolo bien y en la distancia, somos un pueblo a nuestro modo muy espiritual.
