2nd Pandemic Christmas

December 26, 2021. Sunday.

Good day to all. How are you? What happened to you yesterday? I'm sure the others there are still a bit tired so they can't go online yet. Me, my day yesterday is okay and fine, it was just a simple celebration of our family and we just eat some foods together and last night we just wandered around a place near us. We were supposed to go to church last night but when we got there in the church it was already closed. We don't know that the churches are closing early nowadays, maybe it was only 7:00 pm when we went there but we didn't make it. Maybe it's just morning when the Churches opens.

But I noticed that a lot has really changed in the way people celebrate Christmas and that's because of Covid (Sorry Covid but you're really the reason for all of this hahahha). If before we are allowed to go for a walk every Christmas, walk here, walk there, go here, go there so that we can get more Christmas presents, sometimes even they are not our godparents we ask them for Christmas presents as long as we know them but now we can't do that. Now the way the godparents give Christmas gitfs or money are through Gcash or any other online transaction. Honestly, I didn't receive anything from my godparents hahhaha, but even from our relatives, I didn't receive anything but it's okay. I haven't seen my godparents for a long time, I only have 2 godfathers and 2 godmothers but I don't see even one of them and I'm not friends on them on social media. As I remembered, the last time I met them was when I was 5 years old and that never happened again. I didn’t even receive that even much yesterday but I was happy that I was able to give to others. Yes, I am the one who gives now to others but I only gave Christmas presents to my grandparents and also to my mother. It was a small amount but they were happy. I also don't have any godchildren so I don't really give anyone a Christmas present and my cousins ​​whose younger than me didn't come to our house either.

Back then we could celebrate Christmas together, the more the merrier, but now we just celebrate at our own houses because it is forbidden to celebrate when there's a lot of people or being cowded. Then we could hug and kiss while saying Merry Christmas but now the Merry Christmas greeting is also online.

As I said before, every Christmas, many people go to church to attend mass, but now there are not allowed to have many people inside the church, so other churches only hold mass online. It is sad because that is the custom of people especially Catholics to go to church on Christmas day to give thanks for all the blessings they have received throughout the year and to celebrate and wish a happy birthday to Jesus Christ.

Also childrens before used to flex or show their Christmas clothes to others and you can see them on the streets and wandering around and having fun but now that is the most forbidden, children are not allowed on the road because their parents keep them from the virus that are spreading. I also used to always wear beautiful clothes every Christmas before and I am proud to flex it but now I am fine even if I don't have new clothes or beautiful clothes as long as I still have clothes to wear.

But now we can't do all that but we still hope that next year we will be able to celebrate Christmas normally again. Hopefully this will be the last Christmas that we will celebrate with the virus, and beleiving that next year the virus will disappear so that we can celebrate Christmas freely, without a facemask, without social distancing and without the need to have a temperature check and to use alcohol all the time.

And that's just for today. We're a little senti now but it's okay that we still had a happy Christmas. And to the people of Visayas and Mindanao, I will always remind you not to lose hope and always be strong. More help will come to you and you will be able to recover soon. Fight lang po and all of this problem will end soon. Up to here first. Until again. Bye. Peace.
