WHAT IS CHRISTMAS TO YOU?

I remember when I was still a kid; we used to hang socks in the door or next to the Christmas tree because mom said that Santa will put candies and toys during the night. And on the Christmas Eve, we leave milk and cookies for Santa. In the next morning, we were very excited to see if Santa leave a gift for us and yes, we have lots of gifts that we thought it’s from Santa.

Receiving gifts, having ham and cheese and lots of foods in the table, decorating the Christmas tree and putting Christmas lights outside is what I mean for Christmas. But now, I realized that Christmas is not just about gifts or Santa Clause or singing carols. It’s more about sharing, loving and forgiving. And to me, I want to have all my family in Christmas time though it’s not possible now because we are very far from each other but still they are all in my hearts on this special day. I’m still hoping that someday, we will be together in Christmas Day.
