The way I celebrate Christmas in the Philippines was to spend my time with my family and friends. Attend the Novena, enjoy the crowded church with different kinds of perfumes I smell from different kinds of people in the community and ate native delicacies either before or after the mass shared with warmth moments with love ones. One week before Christmas I was busy going to the Malls to buy for everybody's gift and buy for groceries. And on the day, the whole member of the family was busy doing their own stuff. Some of us were busy cleaning the house, some was busy wrapping gifts. And on Christmas Eve, everyone was excited to open their gifts and eat the delicious foods on the table.
It is two Christmas already I celebrated holidays that I was away from home, it was a Cold December. How I celebrated my Christmas was just so ordinary. It was cold, I know Maui never been having a snow. It was cold for I was not able to be with my family, as what I used to. I worked on Christmas, so I didn't feel the warmth feeling from my family.
I am still thankful in spite of loneliness; so thankful for the year 2011 of all the blessings I received. I am so thankful for the courage and the strength to overcome trials. I am now ready to face the year ahead with full of hope and wish to conquer my doubtful attitude. Which is one vices or habits that distract and destroy loving relationship. May God will protect and guard me the way I think from negativity. I pray to trust more to the Lord and his divine guidance.
Thank you Lord for the Universe I live in. Thank you Universe for providing me all things I need. May you continue to bless me. May the Universe bring me good fortunes and love.
I pray that may the year ahead will be prosperous. I pray for more courage, strength, love, serenity, and unity.
Happy New Year and I welcome you 2012!
