Excited for this Christmas Season(flashback memories)

Article #83

Time flies so fast and now it's already "ber" months and I know I am not the only one have this kind of feeling of excitement.

While I was riding on a motorcycle with my partner going to the market, I saw a group of people doing caroling in some stores there and in return on it, the owner of the store will give a penny to them.

These were common actually in the Philippines as our tradition during the Christmas season. I don't know about some other countries if there's caroling in there. but one thing is for sure, this kind of activity is very much enjoyable though some people feel annoyed when someone does caroling on them. They don't want to give any single penny. Some Filipinos are "kuripot". 😂stingy.

Our kind of simple celebration of Christmas 🎄

One of the best happenings of my life was when we gathered together with my family to celebrate Christmas day. My parents, siblings, nephews, and nieces. These photos were captured many years ago and having a hard time when the Pandemic occurred we could no longer have a chance to have gatherings and celebrate Christmas together because of the lockdown in different areas to avoid spreading the virus. And then, last year again another challenge for us when we Suffer the causes of Typhoon Odette and it was December 16, 2021.

We lost contact with our families and relatives from other places for almost one month because of so much damage they need to cut off the internet connection and electricity to avoid another casualty. All those things we experienced,I realized that we should give worth and love in everything we have and treasure it especially those people we loved and who loved us material things will be fade but the memories we had together will remain forever.

Therefore, today I am excited and looking forward to this coming Christmas day though I have a little bit worried if might be something bad happen again and I hope nothing at all. So that we can have our Christmas celebration be a memory before we will face another new year.

I know everything will be back to normal this was barely a challenge that God let us experience this all to enlighten us on how is important everything we have in this world like family. some are just forgetting because they focus on material things and money. they forget God also and act without humanity.

Thanks for reading!
