Childhood are those years that I really enjoy Christmas season, everything was organized and money is that much a problem. One of the best Christmas that I can remember was during the year when we celebrated it in my grandma's province.

And to know more about it, is the topic that I am going to share, as I join the Christmas Challenge 2021 of Sir @TengoLoTodo . I know most of you already joined this, but for those who haven't, then I recommend this challenge as it's fun to look back those previous Christmas celebrations that we had.

I was in grade 3 or 4, can't remember the exact grade level, when my grandmother decided to have our Christmas celebration in their province. It's not a type of mountain province but a coastal province. We only visit there once in a blue moon, so we are all excited when they fixed the decision.

Dawn on December 23, when we travel and arrived there at noon. As a kid, the moment we get out the car, we immediately run to the seashore. My grandma's house is only 15-20 meters from the sea. We are already in the shore, when my strict aunt run after us and shouted "gooo baaack here!" LOL having strict relatives is not fun. So we fixed all our bags and bring it inside the house.

This is how the place looks before

In the afternoon, we decided to visit the house of my father's brother which is one hour walk from grandma's house. Walking to my uncle's place is very exciting because we will be walking along the beach. There are no houses after 10 minutes of walking, and all you have is the sea on your left side and the forest on your right.

After about 30 minutes of traveling, my father informed us that we would be passing through a cemetery. I became interested and wanted to see how it looked, despite the fact that I'd been to the cemetery many times before, but the cemetery in that location is different. After a few moments, I asked my father.

"Where's the cemetery?"

"Here,"

"Where Pa?"

"Here, where we are walking now."

"Where are the tombs?"

"It was washed away by the sea waves, especially when it's high tide"

After that, my cousins who are playing in the sea waves run towards us. We only spent few hours in my uncle's house then back again to my grandma's house with them to celebrate Christmas.

Here's another one ,from our neighbor there

December 24, 11 PM. The night before Christmas, my older cousin asked us to accompany her to the CR. The comfort room is located at the back of the house, so it's so creepy to go their alone. As I remember, there are five of us, four girls and one is my younger brother who always stick with me.

We are only using flashlight that time, only the sounds of the crickets and us saying "tabi-tabi po" is what you can hear that time. When we reach the comfort room, my cousin go inside and four of us left outside looking around, thinking if there are ghost.

When my cousin is done, we slowly walk back when I turn my head on the right and got shocked,

"Look!"

They all turn their head, and shouted, "aaahhhhhhh". We run so fast and when we reach inside the house, our parents our asking what happened ? Then we just replied, "nothing."

What we saw?

Nothing, just a white light floating on the wall that looks like a uniform of a girl student. Note, it was dark that time and it's only that shining behind.
