Time of Giving

Christmas is giving, a time for fun, time for family, a time to forgive.

Let me start by saying that we don't celebrate Christmas  because of our religion, so we just spent the 24th and 25th of December just like an ordinary day. But we went to our province in Pampanga on the first day of 2011 to have a reunion/Christmas party with our relatives. We had games, exchange gifts, giving gifts and so much more, It was so much fun :)

This special event won't be the same without my relatives, foods and gifts made me happy, but seeing them after a long time made me happier.

Christmas is about family, but most of all it's all about remembering Jesus Christ's birth.
