Greetings to everyone in the Ladies of Hive community. It is undoubtedly a week of celebration; reaching the 300th contest requires effort and consistency from every participant, sponsor, and the creator herself. Congratulations to all. Here is the contest post—don't miss it: Ladies of Hive Community Contest #300

This week, @nainaztengra has crafted two questions that transport us back to our childhood. She invites us to travel back in time and rediscover the—often beautiful—memories from those years filled with learning. Everyone is invited to participate.

1️⃣ As a child, which was your favorite Fairy Tale story and how much did you believe in it?

I had few storybooks during my childhood, but an aunt gave me Cinderella, and I loved reading it and looking at its beautiful illustrations. It was that wonderful story of a hardworking girl who endured so much hardship, yet had once had it all. I loved reading it over and over again; the corners of the pages were worn and tattered from so much leafing through them. She became a princess and showed generosity toward her stepsisters, even after they had treated her so badly.

Believing in that fairy godmother—that lady capable of bringing about so much good—and in that motherly love that always protects from beyond.

I loved believing in that ending where everyone was happy and found their place. Even though, in life, you discover that sometimes endings aren't quite so happy, I still believe in it.

2️⃣ What is something you believed as a child that you later found out was not true?

I have always loved Christmas; it is one of my favorite times of year. For a long time, I firmly believed in Saint Nicholas, who would come to school to bring us gifts during the holiday season. Whenever I approached that imposing, bearded figure and looked into his eyes, they felt so familiar; he would embrace me with such warmth. It was only years later that I learned it was actually my grandfather in disguise, handing out gifts at my school. It is a memory I cherish, because that Saint Nicholas smelled just like my grandfather’s cologne.

Saludos a todas en la comunidad de Ladies of Hive. Una semana de celebración sin duda alguna llegar al concurso número 300 requiere un esfuerzo y constancia de cada uno de sus participantes, patrocinadores y su creadora. Felicitaciones a todas. Les comparto el post del concurso no se lo pierdan Ladies of Hive Community Contest #300

Dos preguntas esta semana que nos transportan a nuestra infancia, escritas por @nainaztengra, nos invita a viajar en el tiempo, a encontrar esos recuerdos a veces bonitos que nos dejaron esos años llenos de aprendizaje. Están todas invitadas a participar.

1. Cuando era niña, ¿cuál era mi cuento de hadas favorito y cuánto creía en él?

Tenía pocos libros de cuentos en mi infancia, pero una tía me regalo cenicienta y me encantaba leerlo y mirar sus hermosas imágenes. Esa maravillosa historia de una niña tan trabajadora y sufrida, que una vez lo tuvo todo. Me encantaba leerlo una y otra vez, ya las esquinas de sus páginas estaban rotas de tanto hojearlas. Convertirse en una princesa y ser generosa con sus hermanastras después que la trataron tan mal.

Creer en esa hada madrina, esa dama que podía lograr muchas cosas buenas, ese amor de madre que siempre protege desde el más allá.

Creer en ese final donde todos eran felices y encontraban su lugar, me encantaba. Aunque la vida uno descubre que a veces los finales no son tan felices, pero yo sigo creyendo en ello.

2. ¿Qué es algo que creías cuando eras niño y que luego descubriste que no era cierto?

Siempre me ha gustado la navidad, es de mis fechas favoritas. Durante mucho tiempo creí con mucha fuerza en San Nicolás que venia a la escuela y nos traía regalos en esa fechas. Cuando me acercaba a esa gran figura de barba y veía la mirada de San Nicolás la sentía muy familiar, ese personaje me abrazaba con mucho cariño. Lo que supe muchos años después es que era mi abuelo disfrazado para entregar los regalos en mi escuela. Es un recuerdo que me encanta porque aquel San Nicolás olía a la colonia del abuelo.

Me encantó la anécdota sobre tu abuelo, y eso de que no lo descubrieras a pesar de la colonia es como que un toque de inocentada que uno tenía cuando niño, cuando creer era algo muy puro.

OMG, Santa is Venezuelan? 😲All this time I was convinced that he was Canadian since his shop is addressed as Ellesmer Island in Northern Canada! 😉

Ha, ha, yes, and he goes by so many names: Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, or simply Santa. I loved him; he smelled so good, now I know. And he brought beautiful gifts for all the children. Santa is a universal and wonderful memory. Thank you so much for your support and comments.

Hug.

ja, ja, si y recibe tantos nombres santa Claus, san Nicolás o simplemente santa. A mi me encantaba olia muy rico, ahora lo se. Y traía hermosos regalos para todos los niños. Santa es universal y maravilloso recuerdo.

Cinderella was one of my favorite fairy tales too. I also think that as children, we believed that kindness and hope could overcome everything and I think those stories shaped us in beautiful ways. The memory of your grandfather being Saint Nicholas is so heartwarming. It must have been such a special realization later in life.

I certainly loved stories—and it was even better if they had a happy ending where justice was served. Years after I found out my grandfather was the one who used to dress up as Santa—a cousin told me, and it made sense, given that he smelled like his cologne—discovering it was quite funny, and it remains a wonderful memory. Thank you for the comment and support. Warm regards.

Si me encantaban los cuentos y si terminaban bien haciendo justicia mejor. Muchos años después de descubrir que mi abuelo era el que se disfrazaba de Santa, me lo dijo un primo y con razón olía a su colonia, fue muy cómico descubrirlo y un recuerdo maravilloso. Agradecida por el comentario y apoyo. Un abrazo.

Oh, I’m glad that just like us, you had an experience of the Cinderella story, and the wishes that came with bringing her luck to us in real time. But like you said, we don’t always get happy endings.

I also think your grandfather being Saint Nicholas is one of the funniest thing I’ve read this morning. I imagine the thoughts you had in your head whenever you smelled his cologne. All the same, it’s cute that you had such a wonderful childhood experience during Christmas.🌺

Since stories don't always end so well, that’s why I like movies or books with happy or positive endings. My grandfather actually played Santa in disguise for several years, and I only found out long after the fact. I appreciate the support and the comment. Best regards.

Si a veces las historias no terminan tan bien, por eso cuando veo películas o leo libros me gustan que tengan finales felices o positivos. Si durante varios años mi abuelo fue el santa disfrazado y solo me entere muchos años después. Agradecida por el apoyo y comentario. Un abrazo.

I love how you compensate for all of it in your older years. Well done, and have a good day.

I can resonate with both of them because it's been the same for me as well. Thank you for sharing your story

It is indeed a fun story—the innocence of childhood. Thank you so very much for the space and support.
Best wishes.

Si es una historia divertida, la inocencia de la infancia. Muchísimas gracias por el espacio y apoyo. Un abrazo.
