Probabil ca multi dintre voi va intrebati cum e sa faci Craciunul departe de casa. Stiu ,idea nu suna bine dar pentru noi a fost primul Craciun de parte de casa si a fost unul deosebit .
In seara de ajun a Craciunului am fost invitati la niste prieteni dragi sa petrecem seara impreuna cu familia lor . Iar familia lor inseamna in jur de 40 de persoane ,toate strinse in acelasi loc . Fantastic ,nu ?
Seara a fost organizata in asa fel incit in prima parte Mos Craciun aduce cadouri la copii iar in a-2-a parte au inceput sa joace un joc asa numit “Amigo curto” sau “ Prietenul ascuns “.
Pentru noi a fost ceva deosebit sa vedem aceasta interactiune interpersonala .Acest joc presupune ca fiecare din familie isi alege la cine va da un cadou in acel an . Pina aici totul normal ,nu ? Partea cea mai impresionanta a fost modul in care isi dadeau acele cadouri si cuvintele frumoase pe care le spuneau despre celalalt. Puneau atita emotie si atita sinceritate in acele cuvinte frumoase astel incit au fost persoane care au plins la decernarea cadourilor .
Impactul pozitiv si mesajul pentru mine a fost si mai puternic realizind ca si noi avem familii si prieteni dragi dar nu facem atit de multe eforturi sa ne reunim cu totii si mai mult, aproape nicioadata nu ne spunem cind de mult ne iubim sau ne apreciem unii pe altii . Si de multe ori apar probleme in familii si nu se realizeaza ca nu au avut sansa sa ii spuna celuilalt ca pe linga micile certuri zilnice pe care le au, dragostea si prietenia dintre ei este mai puternica decit orice .
Mesajul este ca trebuie sa ne concentram atentia la lucrurile si momentele importante ale vietii si sa ignoram total micile sicane care apar zilnic in vietilor noastre .
Mindria,ura,teama,ignoranta,etc sint niste sentimente care ar trebui inlocuite cu dragoste ,prietenie,curaj si fericirea intilnirii cit si altele sentimente pozitive.
La finalul jocului “ Prietenul ascuns” am cerut si eu sa intru in joc . Astfel ,am vorbit foarte frumos multumind pentru faptul ca am fost acceptati in aceasta familie atit de repede si de usor ,de faptul ca aceasta familie ne-a ajutat foarte mult de cind sintem in Brazilia, de faptul ca aceasta familie este una simpla si foarte frumoasa cind sint impreuna si in special am multumit celor 2 prieteni care au insemnat atit de mult pentru noi . La sfirsitul speech-ului in fata celor ~ 40 de persoane, au fost persoane care nu le-am vazut pina atunci si care au venit si m-au luat in brate ,au fost persoane care m-au invitat sa petrecem Revelionul cu ei si au fost o multime de ochi atintiti spre mine exprimind admiratie .
A fost ceva deosebit ,ceva de o emotie foarte puternica ,ceva care m-a facut sa imi fac o promisiune . Incepind cu anul urmator voi face un efort mare pentru a pune toata familia extinsa impreuna si pentru a incerca sa sadesc sentimente frumoase si puternice intre noi .
Urati-mi succes ,sint sigur ca voi reusi .
Cu drag

2010 Christmas Eve in Brazil
Probably most of you are wondering how is to do Christmas away from home. I know, the idea does not sound good but for us it was the first Christmas away from home and was a great one.
In the Christmas Eve we were invited to some dear friends to spend the evening with their family. And their family is around 40 people, all gathered in one place. Funny, hey?
The evening was organized in a way that in the first part Santa Claus brings gifts to children in the 2nd part they started to play a game so named "Amigo Curto" or "Secret friend".
For us it was something special to see this great interpersonal interactions. This game requires that each family member to choose a friend to give a gift that year. Until here everything normal, no? The most impressive was the fact that way they gave each other those gifts and the wonderful words they said about each other. They put so much emotion and so much sincerity in those words so that there were people who have cried to the awarding of the gifts.
The positive impact and message for me was stronger realizing that we all have families and friends beloved but we do not put so much effort to get us all together and more than this, almost never we do not tell each other much we love and appreciate each other’s. And many times in families appear problems and people do not realize that they did not have the chance to say each other that besides the small daily fights that they have, their love and their friendship is stronger than anything.
The message is that we should concentrate our attention to the most important things and important moments of life and ignore all the little daily chicanes in people's lives.
Pride, hate, fear, ignorance, etc. are some feelings that should be replaced with love, friendship, courage and happiness and other positive feelings meeting.
At the end of the game "secret friend” I asked to get into. So I talked very nicely about our appreciation that we have been accepted into this family so quickly and easily, the fact that this family has helped us greatly since we are in Brazil, the fact that this family is a very simple and beautiful especially when they're together and I thanked the two friends who have meant so much to us. At the end of the speech's in front of ~ 40 people, there have been people who have not seen me before and they came and took me in his arms, were people who invited me to spend New Year with them and have been a lot of eyes glued to me expressing admiration.
It was something special, something very emotional powerful, something that made me make a promise. Starting next year I will make a great effort to put the whole extended family together and try to instill strong and beautiful feelings between us.
Wish me luck, I'm sure I will succeed. J
Take care
Cosmin
