More and more videos online have been tugging at our heartstrings lately; but there is one particular Selecta video that came out recently that really made me tear up. Watch this:

To be honest, I was torn between both smiling and crying because while I can relate to not having a complete family gathering during the holidays, I know that I am lucky that everyone in my immediate family is still alive and well, and just a Skype call away. Other families aren’t so lucky.

I have a lot of friends who constantly struggle with the memories of lost loved ones, especially during the holidays. Hopefully, this Selecta video will encourage those who have lost someone to focus on the happy memories spent with them this Christmas season.

If you are one of those people, I hope that this video reminds you that even though your family may not be complete this Christmas, being around the ones you love can be enough to make your Christmas more meaningful.

In fact, once you bring up the best memories you’ve spent together, we’re sure you’ll be able to keep the Christmas spirit alive within the family this Noche Buena season. Happy Holidays!
