La magia de los huevos de pascua que llegaron a casa / The magic of the Easter eggs that arrived at home
Aunque para nosotros celebrar la Pascua de resurrecci贸n con los huevos de chocolate no era una tradici贸n familiar, desde que vivimos en Argentina, mis hijos siempre han recibido un huevo full de chocolate el domingo que cierra la Semana Santa, a veces han sido grandes y otras veces modestos, pero lo importante es ver sus caras de alegr铆a al llegar con la sorpresa, sobre todo porque en casa no se come chocolate todos los d铆as.
El a帽o pasado y el anterior a ese, les compr茅 varios en versiones peque帽as, de manera de dosificar tanto chocolate, y adem谩s, opt茅 por adquirir los que se hacen de manera artesanal, pues con ello, adem谩s de llevarles el regalo a mis hijos, tambi茅n contribu铆a con esos emprendimientos que aprovechan la fecha para hacerse un dinero adicional, y vaya que no tienen nada que envidiarle a los de las grandes marcas, pues tanto en gusto como en la diversidad de tama帽os, sirven para el mismo fin.
Para este 2026, pensaba que no tendr铆a como cumplirles con la tradici贸n, pues en casa he tenido muchos gastos y las deudas van en aumento, pero aunque ellos son muy comprensivos, mi coraz贸n de madre sab铆a que de alg煤n modo tendr铆an esa anhelada sorpresa, sobre todo el peque帽o, que todav铆a cree en la magia y yo lucho para que ese sentimiento le dure por mucho m谩s tiempo.
Y para mi sorpresa, la magia no solo lleg贸 para ellos, sino tambi茅n para mi, pues al llegar a mi trabajo, tom茅 dos huevos peque帽os, para llevarles, y en el transcurso de la ma帽ana, mi compa帽era que vende verduras me da un enorme huevo para mi ni帽o, quien los fines de semana le colabora con el orden en su puesto, y con ello, la alegr铆a embarg贸 mi coraz贸n, ya que por este a帽o, la sorpresa de Pascua para 茅l estaba asegurada.
Pero no todo qued贸 ah铆, ya que al momento de cerrar, mi supervisora me dio dos huevos m谩s, uno para cada hijo, con lo cual termin茅 llegando a casa con 5 huevos de chocolate en total, pero antes de entregarlos aument茅 la expectativa y les dije que me los dieron para que fuera yo quien los comiera, vi茅ndolos acercarse con la intenci贸n de quit谩rmelos, por lo que antes de la tregua, les ped铆 que me tomaran la foto que les comparto.
Este a帽o, contra todo pron贸stico, la magia de la Pascua volvi贸 a sentirse en casa, demostrando una vez m谩s, que m谩s all谩 del regalo y de la tradici贸n, mientras sigamos creyendo, el universo se encarga de recompensar las buenas acciones que vamos haciendo y las cosas que hacemos bien cada d铆a.
Although celebrating Easter with chocolate eggs wasn鈥檛 a family tradition for us, ever since we鈥檝e lived in Argentina, my children have always received a chocolate-filled egg on the Sunday that marks the end of Holy Week. Sometimes they鈥檝e been large, and other times modest, but the important thing is seeing the joy on their faces when they get the surprise鈥攅specially since we don鈥檛 eat chocolate every day at home.
Last year and the year before that, I bought them several small ones so I could pace out the chocolate, and I also chose to buy the ones made by small artisans, because by doing so, in addition to giving my children a gift, I was also supporting those small businesses that take advantage of the holiday to earn some extra money鈥攁nd believe me, they鈥檙e every bit as good as the big brands, since in terms of both taste and variety of sizes, they serve the same purpose.
For this year, I thought I wouldn鈥檛 be able to keep up the tradition, since we鈥檝e had a lot of expenses at home and our debts are piling up. But even though they鈥檙e very understanding, my mother鈥檚 heart knew that somehow they鈥檇 get that long-awaited surprise鈥攅specially the little one, who still believes in magic, and I鈥檓 fighting to keep that feeling alive for as long as possible.
And to my surprise, the magic wasn't just for them, but for me too, because when I got to work, I took two small eggs to bring them, and during the morning, my coworker who sells vegetables gave me a huge egg for my son, who helps her tidy up her stall on weekends, and with that, joy filled my heart, since this year, his Easter surprise was guaranteed.
But that wasn鈥檛 all, because when we closed up, my supervisor gave me two more eggs, one for each child, so I ended up coming home with a total of five chocolate eggs, but before handing them over, I built up the anticipation and told them they鈥檇 been given to me so I could eat them myself. Seeing them come closer with the intention of taking them from me, I asked them to take the photo I鈥檓 sharing with you before they could get their hands on them.
This year, against all odds, the magic of Easter was felt at home once again, proving once more that beyond gifts and tradition, as long as we keep believing, the universe takes care of rewarding the good deeds we do and the things we do well every day.
