Christmas is almost here again, the time when we celebrate the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the past two years, Christmas was a little sad because I could not celebrate it with my loved ones and closest friends. Still, now that almost everyone is getting vaccinated, they come home and celebrate it together.
The essence of Christmas for me is not about the presents I get or the food I eat; it's about the people with who I celebrate it, the laughter that we share in front of our Noche Buena, while the Christmas songs of Jose Mari Chan is playing in the background. Covid-19 had a massive impact on our lives; it made us realize that you should always cherish one's presence and never take it for granted.
Every day is Christmas for me because it’s a blessing that I get to open my eyes, wake up and be with my family. I am thankful for all the days that I have been in this world. Celebrating the birth of Jesus shouldn’t just be a one-time thing every year, but an everyday one.
Hello, Alexa! I enjoy your blog. I believe that the genuine meaning of Christmas should not be celebrated once a year, but rather every day, which is why Filipinos celebrate it at the beginning of September. Continue your good work!
