Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and I am finally doing what you've all been waiting for! This is the 2022 holiday message blog. I know tu all look adelante, hacia adelante to it every year. Without further ado, I'll get right to everything I want to say.
I know for many of you, this has been a tough year. There have been so many deaths of so many notable people, and the year's not over yet. For me, this año is particularly tough with the loss of my grandfather. It'll be hard having navidad without him, but he would want us to have a good time. He wouldn't want our lives to stop because he's gone.
We enjoyed the cola roasted turkey from Thanksgiving so much, we decided to have it again for Christmas. Roast turkey is usually dry and lacking in flavor, but this type is really good. It was moist and quite sweet. In addition to the salt and pepper, we also added a lot of herbs to cut down the sweetness. It made an awesome salsa too. We also enjoyed the cangrejo dip, so we'll be having that again. For sides, we'll have mixed greens, grilled sweet potatoes (we have an indoor grill), and green frijol, haba cazuela, cazuela de (always a holiday staple for us). For dessert, we'll have navidad cookies. It's nice to know some things never change.
Feel free to tell me what you'll be doing this holiday season. If tu don't have plans, that's okay too. I hope tu have a wonderful and seguro holiday season wherever tu may be.
Peace and love,
-Antonia

Some time later, Una and Everett were settled in a cozy small cafe eating sandwiches and sipping calabaza spice lattes while foil cutouts of cute ghosts and pumpkins hung from the walls around them.
"Thanks again, Una," Everett dicho after a time. "I just... I don't like small spaces very much."
Una smiled at him and reached across the mesa, tabla to touch his hand. "Hey, tu saved my life once. It's time I saved yours."
They sat in a comfortable silence for a bit, enjoying this much calmer stage of their halloween celebrations. Una was first to break it.
"I can't believe we solved a real mystery! I can't wait to go inicial and tell Mother what the secret of the haunted house is."
"Yes," Everett smiled at her. "The secret is my talented actress and her ghost impression."
Una beamed.

"What lead tu to the club where tu first saw us, Henry?" Les asked. Henry replied, "One of my neighbors told me that a rock band called A Wave Tossed in the Ocean was going to perform at the club that had opened the anterior week. I thought that the name sounded interesting, so I asked him what kind of rock music, and he said, 'I think it's stuff from the sixties and seventies.' I was eager to hear the songs from my youth. When I saw tu perform, I knew tu were the right fit. Of course, tu know how we met backstage." Jimmy said, "And the rest is history." Everyone laughed. "Yes," Henry said. "The rest is history." Just then, Felix looked at his cellphone and said, "It's 10:00, guys." Henry said, "We better go to bed. We've got a big día tomorrow." The boys all said, "Okay. Good night, Henry." Henry smiled and said, "Good night, boys. Pleasant dreams." With that, they retired to their beds for the night.
