It was a very strange Christmas for the majority, many without being able to see their families, but trying to put our grain of sand in a critical situation at the health level. But, even if the initial feeling of Christmas was a little melancholy, most of us try to enjoy that holiday in the best possible way, even if it was doing different things than in previous years.

In our neighborhood, for example, firecrackers and ‘domestic’ fireworks, to call them that, became fashionable. We spent a good part of Christmas listening to firecrackers and watching fireworks out the window. We even participated in this sonorous Christmas with a few firecrackers.

It so happens that one of our neighbors is Chinese. You already know the love they have in that country for welcoming their year with firecrackers. He was the one who helped us get into this ‘little world’. He indicated us which was the best pyrotechnic wick maker from his experience. And the man has enough … So he made us some homemade firecrackers including the wicks we had bought. The firecrackers hook. It seems silly, but once you drop one, you want to drop another. And so on. Let them tell it to the Valencians.

What we had a little more respect for was the fireworks. Fireworks that are very famous are held at festivals in my city. I love this kind of party. I am not fond of fairs and riots, but I have been fascinated by fireworks since I was little. So when one day they surprised us by setting off some fireworks next to our house on Christmas Eve afternoon, I even got a little excited: and we all deserve a little hope in a time like the one we have to live.

So we remembered the maker of Pyrotechnic Wick and joined the party with our homemade firecrackers made with the advice of a Chinese expert. And, for a moment, we all feel like children celebrating a unique Christmas.
