Christmas and New Year's eve blues.
These two celebrations have never been the same since my grandma passed 5 years ago and it's getting "plain" and sad over the years if I may add.
It's usually a big celebration for us this time of the year with the cousins and relatives coming together to eat and sing Christmas songs all thru the night. Now for the last couple years it has only been us (parents and siblings). I mean I am thankful and blessed to be able to spend it with them and we are complete, but I am missing the big celebrations, the noise, laughter, banters and arguments and just the whole shenanigans.
This is also the time I usually miss my grandma more and remember her smile and her laugh cos she is the light and star of our Christmases for years. The glue that sticks our family together.
Anyway, it's 11:30 pm and I'm still in bed writing this while I hear the blasting sounds of music and firecrackers of the other people celebrating outside. In 15 mins I'd probably go down the living room and wait for the countdown, celebrate the new year with the family, eat some desserts then call it a night.
Hoping next year's celebration would be by the beach with the fam watching some fireworks display lol
Happy new year to you who will read this! Praying for good health and sound mind for all of us this coming year.
