MEMORABLE DECEMBERS
Every December is a memorable December for me. There are many events that happen in our family every December; most women in our family are born in December, and as a Christian family, we also celebrate the most important event of the year, which is Christmas in December.
It all started at December 2016, it was my first time spending December with a big family since my mother got married to my papang, who has a big family. It was a whole new experience since I got used to just spending Christmas with my mother, titos, and titas. The new family I'm in combined their birthdays (my anma's and titas'), including my mother's, since she was also born in December. We celebrated their birthdays at Can-ayan, and it was so fun because there were a lot of foods, like for real. We also always play tons of games with my cousins and sing karaoke songs. I also made new friends since one of my cousins gave me a tour around their place. On Decembers, we also celebrate events in church like Thanksgiving and when I was still a kid me and my cousins joined Christmas Cantata.
Next, we celebrate Christmas; although we don't really do much on December 25, we only have some food for the celebration. Lastly, we celebrated a lot during December 31, it's our neighbour's birthday and we always get invited to their party, me, my cousins, and our friends always play together in the computer shop that our neighbor owned while the adults in our family prepare for New Year's Eve, our family usually celebrates Christmas with New Year's Celebration our family believes that Jesus Christ's birthday was not exactly the 25th of December so the actual celebration of Christmas is combined with New Year's Celebration, we did our exchanging of gifts and it's my first time that I've received a lot since there are a lot of family members in this family, that time before midnight we played games and ran outside while waiting for the fireworks. Every December is such a memorable core memory of my life, and I will be forever thankful to God who made me experience these Decembers.
Love binds us together in perfect unity.
