shiawasenajinseiMerry Christmas! :D
It's Christmas time once again, my favorite time of the year. I love Christmas because it's a season full of love, hope and peace. And of course, happiness and giving. Although life is quite hard for most people these days, it's good to know that we're still celebrating Christmas. ^_^
I am lucky and very thankful that I have good memories of Christmas. Every year, there will be a family gathering. We'll be playing games and taking lots of pictures. It's noisy and a bit of a riot, but it's really fun. I also have good Christmas memories with my friends. I totally love our Christmas celebration at school during my last year in high school.
We spent an entire week for celebration. There were a lot of activities, the first one of which was the Christmas program wherein we were tasked to do a play on the Nativity. I was one of the backstage people, being the one in charge of the background music and being a part of the props group as well. At first, it was quite stressful; we crammed the props and our rehearsals weren't very good. But when the time came for our performance, we were able to pull it off very nicely. The comments our teachers gave us made me really happy. We were able to prove to them that we're good not just at being naughty. Haha.
We also had a High School Night then. It was the first time our school had that kind of activity for us, and since we were graduating, we were really happy that we had the chance to experience that. Lastly, we also got to do some charity work during the last activity for our celebration. Kids from the lower socio-economic status got to enjoy during our charity program. It was fun and I have a lot of happy memories from that one week celebration.
This year, too, I have a lot of happy memories. To start the Christmas break, our department over at uni (the awesome Department of Behavioral Sciences :D) held the annual Christmas party and Carol Fest. There was also a Parol Making Contest this year. We didn't win it, but at least we emerged as the champions for this year's Carol Fest :) We only started preparing two days prior the Christmas party, so I'm really happy that we got it this time around! We also got to prove that we are good not only in being naughty. Haha! (I think I never got into a section or class that's considered by the teachers/professors as "good". Haha.)
A day after that, it was time to bond with my best friends and friends from high school. We attended our high school's Christmas concert (I always call it that, but the songs they sang weren't really Christmas-y, so I don't know XD) and got to bond with each other a lot this Christmas break. One of my best friends celebrated her 18th birthday last week (and her debut celebration is tomorrow), so we were busy preparing. Nonetheless, it was fun because as I've said, we get to bond a lot these days. I particularly enjoyed the crazy karaoke session we had last week ;)
I'm really thankful that I have fun memories of Christmas. This Christmas I hope to add more to those, and I hope everyone else gets to have fun, too. But before that, let's not forget the reason for this season: our Savior Jesus Christ is born :) Let's rejoice and celebrate His birth! :D
Finally, let us all celebrate Christmas by spreading love, joy and peace! :) Maligayang Pasko sa lahat! :D Shiawase ni natte, minna! ^_^
