28 more days before Christmas! yipeee... there are so many things i love about the 25th of december.
one: the food! forget about the world and the bitchy word "diet". it's Christmas anyway! the following are my favorite stuffs during Christmas. of course, there's the traditional ham. nyam! special ulams, courtesy of my papa (which he calls pacham, short for pachamba. he is so paham noh? pahambog ever! hehe..) the chocolates and candies in the fridge which i can't help but munch. usually, my mom prepares my favorite macaroni salad. this is food for the gods! if i'll be stuck in an island, and there are only five kinds of food i can bring, this definitely goes! yung apat pa, saka ko na pag-iisipan. i wonder what we'll have this coming Christmas. exciting!
two: the kids! i am so in love with kids. they usually arrive in groups dressed at their best, with a sling bag on their shoulders, then altogether they'll shout "mamamasko po!" sabay mano to the elders. Christmas is about remembering the birth of Jesus Christ so it's just like saying that Christmas is for kids.
three: the reunion! relatives from other places make an effort of travelling for hours just to spend christmas with their loved-ones. just like my Auntie Janet and the whole gang. their coming home is one of our little traditions for years now.
four: the gifts and other aguinaldos! to my ninangs and ninongs: i may seem to be a big girl now. but i want you to know that i will still be accepting gifts. by the way, i prefer cash! hehe.. may God bless you more and more!
five: the greetings! it's a good feeling when you receive a lot of text messages and phone calls from people you have not heard much from. Christmas is about remembering each other.
six: the Christmas spirit! almost everyone seems to be in high spirits. no party-poopers and killjoys in Christmas Day please!
seven: the hugs, the kisses and the smiles! one seems to get a lot of these during Christmas. do it every day and this world will be a better place to live in. seriously!
seriously speaking, i love Christmas Day because it gives me an excuse to give gifts without appearing too mushy. so whoever gets a little something from me, it is my way of saying "Thanks because you've been a significant part of my life this year. You are appreciated and loved. Merry Christmas!". to those who will not be able to, i have a simple message and i hope you understand: "Naubusan na ko ng pambili ng regalo. Merry Christmas! You are loved and appreciated too." hehe lusot! :)
