I can't help but think of how this holiday will look like for 2020. Looking back to all to the previous months that we had, we can say that this year is not really something for the book.
For some, they feel the holiday vibe when the news channels start their 100-day countdown before Christmas, but regardless of the religion, I know that this is one of the most awaited time of the year. This year is very different from previous holidays.
Personally, I refrain from celebrating anything ever since my father died. 2 years ago, I don't feel celebrating my birthday, I don't feel celebrating holidays, new years, everything. The holiday season makes me more sad thinking that I can no longer celebrate this kind of special day as a complete family.
But I have to, I still have other members of the family and I don't want them to feel the same. Especially the kids, I made sure they have new clothes or the things they want during this season.
My mom always told me, " Let's cook this for Christmas ". " Let's have this for Christmas", " Let's do this on Christmas ". I told her, mom, why do we need to do all of these things only at Christmas? why not now?
In these uncertain times, I made sure that I let them experience the things that we usually do only during the holiday season.
I know things will never be the same for now but let's hope for the best.
I'm still hoping that this pandemic will end and that everything will get back to normal. I hope we'll make it through.
It's not mandatory to prepare something on holiday as long as everyone is safe and healthy. That's the most important .
