My family's Christmas table

Merry Christmas 2018


Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem, currently Cisjordania, a part of Palestine, a muslim country.


This Christmas we were 27 Allues and Martinezes at the table, ages from 1 to 75 years.


Of the whole tribe


2 were born in Zamora, Spain, where my father was from.
4 were born in Tarragona, Catalonia, where we currently live
5 in Barcelona
3 in Addid Abeba, Ethiopia
2 in Oklahoma City, USA
2 in Madrid
1 in the Basque Country
1 in Ibiza island
1 in Valencia
1 in Algeciras, Andalusia
1 in Luanda, Angola
1 in Basel, Switzerland
1 in Tula, Russia
1 in Morocco
1 in Sabadell, Catalonia


That’s what their passports say.
Do you really think where were you born makes any difference?
