Christmas is a special day of the year. It is fun, and you can receive many gifts, but more importantly, it is the season of giving, loving, and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Aside from that, Christmas is also about spending time with our loved ones or family.
Before Christmas Day, my family and I helped each other to decorate our Christmas tree. We went to buy Christmas lights, and we reused some of the decorations so we could save money. We also put Christmas lights on our gate and put some decorations in the hallway of our house. Being with them while preparing for Christmas made it feel special.
We also had a Christmas party with my friends. Each of us brought food; some brought pancit, crispy Chickenjoy, and more delicious food. We had played a few games, and I was so lucky that I won some of them and received a prize, which was money. After the games, we exchanged gifts with the person that we randomly picked.
When the clock hit 12:00 AM, I ran towards our Christmas tree and opened the gifts that I received. Even if they were simple, they still made me happy. After that, we ate the food that we prepared, like yummy spaghetti and graham with fruits. Eating together made it even more joyful. However, Christmas feels incomplete when my father is away working as an OFW. I haven't yet experienced celebrating Christmas with my father. I miss him a lot, but what can I do when he is working hard for our family?
At the end, Christmas is still Christmas. A season of giving and sharing. Where Jesus Christ's birth is celebrated, and family remains at the heart of everything, even when some loved ones are far away.
