Near Christmas

I would like to greet all the readers of my blog a Blessed Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Five days to go before Christmas 2004. One can see how fats time flies.

I remember the days when I was very eager as the clocks ticks towards Christmas day. I could imagine how much money, toys, clothes, or food I will receive come Christmas time. Exciting!!!

Now, it is so much different. Enthusiasm level is a bit lower than before. Now, I don’t anticipate gifts, but instead expect expenses here and there. This is what you get after receiving tons of gifts in childhood.

In this time for crisis, it is quite difficult to celebrate Christmas fully, especially when we get used to grandiose celebrations the past years. And it is also sad to note that some of the people I am celebrating my Christmas with have left for the States. But like what they always say, you can’t stop Christmas.

We already have our Christmas planned. Too bad, I am celebrating the Christmas weekend away from my lady because she’s leaving for Agoo Tuesday night, December 21. Though it seems difficult due to the reasons I have mentioned above, I will try my best to celebrate Christmas. After all, it’s Kuya Jess’ birthday.

Haven’t bought a single gift for my inaanaks… What an irresponsible Ninong. As far as I can recall, I have 6 inaanaks. Dami na pala!!! I promised myself I’d buy them before December 23.
