The True Meaning of Christmas!

It's a shame that every year the holiday spirt is lost. It's not about holiday shopping or gifts, but it seems thats the only thing that people worry about. I remember there was a time that I only cared about shopping and receiving gifts but until recently I found out what is the true meaning of Christmas. It's a time that we live in peace with others, a time that we get along with those love ones that are fall apart from us and celebrate the love we have one another. It's also the time to await for the birth of this jesus christ. I think this is the first time that I won't be bothered if i don't get anything for christmas. I have something important that is always my present, my family. I am grateful that I have them by my side.

You know what I miss? I miss my whole family, my grandparents, my aunts, uncles, cousins coming together as one to celebrate Christmas. I miss the smell of tameles, hot chocolate from the kitchen. I miss the times I try snatch a tamel before dinner. good times. where have these times gone. Everybody separated, they don't even care about family. :( Christmas Miracles. I wish those were real, i would wish that for one night that all my family would gather at my grandparents house and have a dinner. When i was a kid, I practically grew up with my cousins until we all grew up and we are all now adults... Its a shame that everybody went their separate ways. My younger cousins didn't get to experience what we" older" generation experience.

Oh well. I'm happy that I celebrate Christmas with my mom, my dad, my sister and my dog Bobby. I don't need gifts to make this holiday special.

Feliz Navidad. :)

Feels Like Winter

Yay! It's finally December once again and that means, winter. In the past during the month of December wasn't as cold as I remember. I am writing from just outside the food court here at school and I think I'm crazy because I'm cold and yet I am still here writing. As long as i remember I am a big fan of being cold, for one reason, one has the excuse to hug people. I don't know what's better, the heat or the cold. My toes are freezing but I'm going to stay here until I am done or until I can't it anymore. The month of December, a month of so many things. A month before the year ends, Dec. 1 (WORLD AIDS DAY), Christmas, New Years Eve and other activities. The thing I love about the month of December is the end of other semester at school. Don't get me wrong, I love school but just thinking that it's going to end, I get excited to catch up on my sleeping. Now I'm feeling the fresh cold breeze in my fingers. I feel that any minute now my fingers will get frozen and won't be able to type. Ah. I don't think I can't stand any other second at school. HAPPY DECEMBER! HOPEFULLY THE COLD LEAVES SOON IF NOT IM GONNA STUFF ALL WINTER.. JAJAJA. I just realize, if i cant handle this weather how will i survive in places like Alaska. jajaja. I feel so bad for my friend Erick who is going to Alaska this winter. GUD Luck!
