A Celebration to the HIS Birthday!

From the days of December 22-26, 2008 was nothing but all of us were after the Christmas day.

Since the other four days were somewhat just relaxation and preparation for the Christmas, I would just share the story of the things happened last December 25, 2008.

First of all, I woke up early for I think I was excited though I put at my head that I won't go on other houses anymore just to have "aguinaldo". I just wanted to wake up early for I want to say Happy Birthday to You!. All of us knew who was that person which I mentioned. At first, I prepared myself for we will go to church at the morning. After we were all fixed, we went straightly at the church and people located at the door of the church were greeting everyone entering the church. Since my mother's side was in a religion of Born Again Christian, I just went with them though I was Catholic. It was not bad, though I went from different church but the important thing was that I was able to attend at a mass. The mass was about of course, to Jesus Christ since it was His birthday today. Songs from the church were solemn and other songs were lively, which was also related to gospel songs.

After that, we ate in our house for noon time already and my family prepared for that. There were visitors also who came but mostly, it was just our family. It was just like a "salo-salo" for it was a celebration to a birthday of Him who really inspired all of us. After that, my grandparents from Muntinlupa came here to have a celebration with us. They gave me gift and for me, that was a treasure already. From the whole day after in church, I just stayed in the house and rested.

From what I saw, Christmas this year was not lively and also not happier for I could see only few people outside and asking for "aguinaldo", as what the tradition is. I couldn't have gone to other houses even with relatives because our relatives were mostly in different places and I also thought that I was getting older already. I was just sitting on our chair and people going in our house were giving, maybe they thought I was young, haha! But it was okay with that situation. I realized that I won't go anymore at houses and also that the people were the one to give me, just like mature people which were not going at any houses.

It was happy but also sad for I was not yet done with the assignments given. Till next time and Merry Christmas. I will say also a Happy New Year and let's all welcome the year 2009, which was the year of the Ox!!
