Christmas has come to the home of Sara Carbonero. On Sunday, the journalist gathered her closest family and friends around a table to eat together and then, invaded by the Christmas spirit, they decided to put up the tree.
In these images you can see Sara placing the lights and decorations with her sister Irene and her nephews, Leo, three years old, and DarÃo, who came into the world last September.
His cousin Marina Vaquero with her two daughters, Alba and Vera, also helped him decorate his house; Isabel Jiménez and part of the Slowelove team, such as journalist Amanda Prado.
Although there are still several weeks until Christmas, Sara has decided to kick off the holidays that she enjoys to the fullest, especially since she is a mother and aunt.
The journalist always returns to her hometown, Corral de Almaguer, to celebrate Christmas Eve with her family and open Santa’s gifts the next day with MartÃn and Lucas, aged eighteen. “Lucky to always have a place to return to during these times where I can feel like a girl again.“, he said some time ago. “My Christmas smells like firewood, sounds like Christmas carols in the square, tastes like potatoes roasted on a bonfire and is about sharing as much time as possible with all the people I love,” he added.
Sara is preparing to live a very special Christmas after having spoke for the first time in public about cancer. In an emotional speech at a charity gala to raise funds against the disease, he said that She was “in shock” when she was diagnosed in 2019. “It was terrible, I was 35 years old, a healthy life, I didn’t understand anything,” he said. “Cancer, a word that I have run away from for years. I don’t like to refer to it because I believed that, if I didn’t name it, it wouldn’t be a reality. It has taken me time to accept that this is a long-distance race, that I am going to be always an oncology patient and I will live with uncertainty, I have learned to embrace it,” she said through tears.
The journalist thanked her for the support and love she received during the most delicate moments of her illness, and sent a message of encouragement to all the people who are suffering from this process. “There is a way out“.
