MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Christmas. A time for giving, A time for hope and love. A time to celebrate Christ's birth. A time to be happy.
Years ago, we stopped the usual decorating of our house, buying gifts for everyone, and the Noche Bunea, which actually gave me the impression of the 'less' Christmas spirit. In those years, I felt like the '-ber' months does not make a difference anymore. For one, our family encountered something about the beliefs of the holiday, and another is that we have difficulties on our financial situation. However, we are still able to get through those Christmas, wearing a smile on our faces.
This Christmas was not new at all. It was the usual visit from relatives on my mother's side, tiring preparations, and overflowing food. It was sad, having someone ignoring our undying efforts to prepare for Christmas. Even though there are a lot of things that are circling my head, I am still able to pick up myself and be able to go back to business, and actually enjoy things.
The essence of Christmas is not material things nor big amounts of money, but the happiness that you feel at that day. It makes me feel good whenever that 'someone' participates on Christmas related activities and does one's best to bond with us. I don't ask for material things, I don't ask for money.. The only thing I ask is that, to get back to our old habits, enjoying Christmas, and hearing that person say "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to us. Though it is really hard for me to enjoy things when it is not actually enjoyable, I still do my best, and try to have fun at this eventful day.
Life is never easy.. So as being happy. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. :)
