In the midst of the scarcity affecting Cuban households, a woman has taken social media by storm by sharing a video where she creatively, humorously, and optimistically improvises her Christmas tree.
The clip, posted on TikTok by the user @yaneisycanta_98, shows how the Cuban transforms a modest artificial tree into a cheerful Christmas decoration, using few resources but a lot of enthusiasm.
In the images, she is seen smiling as she arranges the branches, adjusts the base with a red and black checkered cloth, and finally decorates the small tree with ornaments, bows, and lights.
The sequence ends with her son, both laughing in front of the now-lit tree, in a gesture that symbolizes the resilience and festive spirit of many families on the island.
"The important thing is not to lose the spirit," could summarize the message conveyed by this video, which has quickly been shared on social media by users highlighting the creativity and joy of Cubans even in the face of hardship.
As the country faces a deep economic crisis, with food shortages, blackouts, and high prices, gestures like this reflect the Cuban people's ability to keep hope alive and celebrate, even with the little they have.
