A tattoo for Christmas. Santa Claus | Un tatuaje para Navidad. Santa Claus [Eng.Esp]
Hello friends of this great world that is this community, I just saw this initiative and running I'm ready to participate.
I invite my friends 
The end of the year has arrived and with it the wishes to celebrate with the family. The table in my home has not been completed for six years because my dad no longer lives with me and that's why Christmas doesn't excite me as much as it should.
I am not an expert in drawing, however I tried to make one as nice as possible.
The why of my drawing
I made a drawing to participate in this initiative, representing how it has come to lose the desire to celebrate and meet on these dates.
To represent a little something of what I feel, I chose Santa Claus, we can't talk about Christmas without mentioning that huge man with a beard and gifts.
This time Santa is sad, my intention is to reflect how the final holidays of the year are no longer the same. The gift bag is empty, I capture it this way representing even more the sadness of Santa because when he is not happy he does not bring gifts, and also his empty sleigh accompanies him, without reindeer.
Instead I wanted to simulate the weight in his bag, as a symbol of the emotions experienced in the year he is saying goodbye and although they were good or bad, they were emotions and many.
I wanted to manifest with a raised hand as a promise that the celebrations will come with the united family.
I tried to draw him even thinner symbolizing his anguish and sadness.
Tattoos
Tattoos have always caught my attention and although I don't have any on my skin, if I have many in mind and in future plans, to tattoo what I just drew (because yes, I would give the tattoo as a gift) I would do it on my leg, in small dimensions preferably 6 cm long and 8.5 cm wide, something discreet but significant.
I would like him to wear the colors of Santa's costume and the other strokes would stay with color only on the edges, in order to give more prominence to Santa Claus thus highlighting the celebrations. I would dedicate the tattoo to all the Christmases when the family has not been together and I would disguise those personal memories with the drawing.
Process
Here I show some images that I made while I was drawing.

Hola amigos de este gran mundo que es esta comunidad, reci茅n acabo de ver esta iniciativa y corriendo me apunto a participar.
Invito a mis amigos
El fin de a帽o lleg贸 y con 茅l los deseos de celebrar junto a la familia. La mesa de mi hogar no est谩 completa hace seis a帽os debido a que mi pap谩 ya no vive conmigo y es por eso que ya la Navidad no me emociona tanto como deber铆a.
No soy una experta en dibujo, sin embargo trat茅 de hacer uno lo m谩s bonito posible.
El por qu茅 de mi dibujo
Realic茅 un dibujo para participar en esta iniciativa, representando como se ha llegado hasta perder las ganas de festejar y reunirse en estas fechas.
Para representar un poco algo de lo que siento, escog铆 a Santa Claus, no podemos hablar de Navidad sin dejar de mencionar a aquel hombre enorme de barba y regalos.
En esta ocasi贸n Santa est谩 triste, mi intenci贸n es reflejar como las festividades finales del a帽o ya no son iguales. La bolsa de regalos est谩 vac铆a, lo plasmo as铆 representando a煤n m谩s la tristeza de Santa pues al no estar contento no trae regalos, y as铆 mismo lo acompa帽a su trineo vac铆o, sin renos.
En cambio quise simular el peso en su bolsa, como s铆mbolo de las emociones vividas en el a帽o que se despide y aunque hayan sido buenas o malas, fueron emociones y muchas.
Quise manifestar con una mano elevada como la promesa de que va vendr谩n las celebraciones con la familia unida.
Lo trat茅 de dibujar hasta m谩s delgado simbolizando su angustia y tristeza.
Tatuajes
Los tatuajes siempre me han llamado la atenci贸n y aunque no tengo ninguno en la piel, si tengo muchos en mente y en planes a futuro, de tatuarme lo que acabo de dibujar (porque si, me regalar铆a el tatuaje) lo har铆a en la pierna, en dimensiones peque帽as preferiblemente de 6 cm de largo y 8.5 cm de ancho, algo discreto pero significativo.
Me gustar铆a que llevara los colores del traje de Santa y los otros trazos se quedaran con color solo en los bordes, para as铆 dar m谩s protagonismo a Pap谩 Noel resaltando as铆 las celebraciones. Dedicar铆a el tatuaje a todas las navidades en que la familia no ha estado reunida y esos recuerdos personales los disfrazar铆a con el dibujo.
