"Ho, Ho, Ho!" What's that sound? That's the sound of Christmas spirit! It's that time of the year that we celebrate yet again another Christmas day. For those who don't know what Christmas is, or don't celebrate it (if that's the case), Christmas is a feast celebrated annually every December 25 that commemorates the birth of Christ. Some of you all may ask, if Christmas is celebrated annually, what makes this year's Christmas different? Well actually, this is the first time that we got to celebrate Christmas together. So yes, it is a BIG DEAL. The tension and excitement to celebrate with new people are just so overwhelming (In a good way!) and the wait to finally celebrate is unbearable.
THE PROGRAM
We started the program with a prayer, thanking God for giving us another day to live, and for the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Followed by a video presentation, prepared by one of our classmates.
The video brought back so many memories. It made us realize that we actually got this far and that even though most of us started from not knowing one another, the moments we've spent together are ultimately priceless. Aside from those we've also played a variety of games, it was fun even though I don't usually participate, watching them have fun is fun! After playing games the rest of us felt exhausted and hungry (I was literally starving) so we decided to eat! (FINALLY) There are several meals prepared, and one of them which I consider to be the highlight of the entire program was the PIZZA. The pizza is ENORMOUS. The taste isn't so good, but it isn't so bad and after all, pizza is pizza!
EXCHANGE GIFTS!
The exchanging of gifts is one of the most anticipated part on every Christmas programs (I can still recall being a 4th grader getting excited over a 50 pesos worth of gift). Exchange gifts get boring as I grow older, I don't why but the gifts you get as you get older becomes more and more dull and expected (No hate though I love the gift I received). But even though that's the case, the act of receiving something from someone is still so special, and it literally embodies the whole purpose of celebrating Christmas, which is to give and sacrifice unconditionally.
All the love! Merry XI-MAS!
