It’s CHRISTmas time once again. Another one away from home. It’s really different how CHRISTmas is celebrated in the Philippines. I don’t know why but it just seems more fun there. The concept is the same… going to mass, preparing for the birth of Jesus, the family gatherings, the gift giving and of course, more parties!! But what? Why do I feel different?

The feelings of "depression" is present but this year I am more alive. I shopped for family and friends earlier than usual … had more budget than last. Have more gifts than last, etc.

Last year, my cousins from Maryland came to visit me, this year, it’s my turn. I am going to Baltimore, then Olney tonight. We’ll follow the tradition at home… have lunch on December 24 together. I can’t wait to give my gifts and of course, receive mine too. Hehehe!

I sent gifts to my family and special friends a little late this year. I sent them through Johnny Air last Sunday and they it’s arriving after the New Year. Well, better late than never.

Time to go! Have a CHRISTmas to go to… high school friends.
