I have always been excited for Christmas.
It's my next favorite season after summer. It comes to a close second.
There's an air of warmth that goes with it. The Christmas carols, the preparation, the anticipation... the thought of giving... its something a thoughtful giver likes me works so hard for to show appreciation to my loved ones. Yes, that's probably it. The atmosphere of love; not the commercialized feeling brought about by Valentines. It's not cheesy red, but festive red. It's true love nga diba? By Jesus Christ. To the world.
Well, I don't know, kasi pag Valentines, it's all hearts and feelings, and mostly... for young people, its for the person they like, they admire. Its for the most popular girl in school... the one with the cutest smile. Well, I don't mean to be shallow, I know Valentines has a romantic, kind of religious origin, and I'm not bitter with Valentines, I celebrate it, but... iba yung pasko eh. It has no qualifications. It's genuine. You celebrate it with your family, good friends... people who really matter to you, without the mushy inclination. It's true love.
And maybe its because it was the month of me and my babe. After all, it was December when our love affair began. I remember Christmas vacation, kilig ligawan moments on the bus, hanging out with our friends at town, more
ligaw-tingin... My talk at a retreat house in Cavite where he came with me... :)) Completing the
simbang gabi, hoping that I get my longtime time wish (which I got, obviously), holding hands during the YFC Christmas party, and the gimmick at town afterwards, where I stole a kiss from him.. I remember exactly what he was wearing. Exchanging Christmas presents (my first gift for him were shades, he looked good in them) and the first Christmas card I sent him, which pretty much gave away my feelings for him. And a lot more :) Life was great after that Christmas. That's when I knew he is God's gift to me.
So this Christmas is special for me, because... he's gonna be here! :) Last Christmas was tearful because he was away. This time its gonna be so great! I'm gonna be with the one I love... :)
Haaay... I'm in dreamy mode again. Can't wait! :)) it really is the most wonderful time of the year. :))
All I want for Christmas... is YOU. :))
another adventure for COSMOGIRL!
