This Christmas felt different but in the best way possible. Instead of our usual routine of visiting relatives, it was them who came to us, filling our home with laughter, warmth, and a sense of togetherness we hadn’t felt in a while. It wasn’t just another holiday gathering; it felt like a reunion—a time for all of us to reconnect and celebrate not only the season but the birth of Jesus Christ, the true reason for the season. The joy of being together, even if incomplete, made the season feel whole, reminding us that Christmas is not about where you are but who you’re with.
The days were packed with fun and energy, with everyone coming together to play games that brought out the best in all of us. Whether it was a board game, a friendly competition, or just sharing stories, the time spent together was a true gift. Each game was a mix of laughter and good-natured teasing, creating moments that bonded us even closer. Our dining table became a symbol of tradition, packed with delicious food prepared with love and care.
What made this holiday even more memorable was a spontaneous trip to Ilocos Norte. It wasn’t planned, and that was the beauty of it. The spontaneity of the trip brought a refreshing sense of joy and reminded me that some of the best moments in life come when you least expect them. Back home, my cousins kept me away from screens, replacing digital interactions with real-life fun and heartfelt conversations. While we weren’t complete as a family, the time we spent together was enough to remind us of how blessed we are. This Christmas was simple yet unforgettable—a reminder that the best gifts in life aren’t wrapped in ribbons but found in shared experiences, love, and faith.
