Twenty Fifth of December

Before the day of christmas celebration, we set up our tree, complete with ornaments and a star, and decorated our house as usual. the celebration was obviously in the air, with the typical smells of christmas season foods, yet it was different. But this christmas was unlike any other in my 11-year life.

There used to be days of celebration leading up to christmas. Church gatherings, carol singing in groups, and visitors in and out of our home were all taken for granted. This year, none of this happened. Instead of spending Christmas Eve in church, welcoming in the holiday with midnight mass and receiving the blessed sacrament, we sat in front of our televisions at our auntie's home, my mom and dad are sleeping my uncle's are drinking alcohol, our gathering was small, nearer, and focused on family.

Things appear to be improving in our city due to the suffering from COVID-19. businesses are attempting to recover, and this christmas, the stores have been done out in an attempt to get people to come out, buy, and celebrate. Looks that people in the city have been for any chance to brighten their lives. Many people who do not traditionally celebrate Christmas have trees in their homes. And there are many new home that are offering gifts for christmas and the new year. This year has a lot of changes maybe because we're getting older, but we must not forget to love and forgive not just in christmas, but everyday since for us Christmas is everyday.

Christmas is a celebration of peace, love, and happiness that sends a message to all of us to live together. The celebration brings joy to everyone's lives and inspires us to follow the road of righteousness. Individuals swear to help the sick and needy in accordance with Jesus Christ's teachings, as well as to travel the prescribed path of Christianity freely.
