We went to Hobby Lobby last week.My husband is a coin collector and usually goes there to buy stuff for his coin collection hobby .After he got all the stuff he needed we walked around to look for some Christmas decors.He told me to choose the Christmas tree that I want to.Being the kuripot (stingy0 me ,I told him that I will think about it first.I like Christmas tree but I don't like the price from that store.Anyway,I was thinking of getting me one in some other place.
December is the most awaited year of the month because of Christmas. It is surprising how people celebrate their Christmas according to their countries tradition. Here in the US Christmas preparation starts right after Thanksgiving.Unlike in the Philippines, we have the longest Christmas preparation which started at the "ber" months.I missed a lot of this when I started working overseas in 1999. I was always away from home every Christmas and New year .I only get connected with them through phone ,mailed photos,Friendster and now at Facebook.I used to spend my vacation during summer to Philippines and US but never on a Christmas Season .Gone are the days when I was still in the Philippines celebrating Christmas with my parents and siblings.We had so much fun together with children opening their christmas gifts,spending christmas days with other relatives,sharing the food that my mom prepared for us and attending the christmas eve mass.Looking at their photos.I relly feel sad and miss them so much.Some times,I wish to go back to those days again just to be with them.
It seems that the cold weather makes me feel nostalgic today.Memories do come and go just to give way to a new and better one.Merry Christmas to all!
