Today's christmas and i've been pretty much loving the love i've got from all the people around me. I must say, not spending christmas with my brother is rather quite sad though. My christmas would be absolutely perfect if he's around. Nevertheless, this christmas is just as beautiful as i've wished it to be. I get to hang around with my family especially with my sister, i get to eat home cook meals (especially my mum's spaghetti) and catched up with all of my friends whom i stumbled upon in church.
"So this is Christmas, and what have you done?
...A year has gone by, a new one has just begun.
Have a merry little christmas, i hope you have fun.. "
- Yoko Ono & John Lennon.
With simple lyrics, i find this song very meaningful. It made me realize that i had done my best for this whole year and hopefully i can do better in the coming year. Regretting things are pointless and a waste of time but learning from it is beautiful and humbling.
To be honest, i never really had any christmas wish list. Everything that's been given to me be it weird, ugly or even very expensive i'll love it very-very much as the thought that only matters to me. * before you puke, no, i really mean it*
I've always thought and knew that my brother is an angel. I personally think that he's everyone around him's angel. I guess i never was really proved right until last christmas.
**He reached KK international Airport carrying a few plastic bags. I was curious and asked him what's inside all these bags.. with a smile he said " presents for me, from my friends."
I went jawdropped for a few seconds as i realized that there was so many presents!! So many. I could only be amazed at the wrappings, the size of the presents, the cards, everything..
As soon as we reached home, he placed all the presents around the xmas tree.
I know it's a bit lame of me to do this, but i counted the xmas presents he got, and it was almost 30 if i'm not mistaken. I was shocked, pleased and proud at the same time.
Some were handmade, some gorgeous and some i can tell very expensive.
I knew that my brother has been a very wonderful friend to all of these people, because then it explains all the wonderful presents and christmas cards he got. He was delighted i can tell and he even told me stories on why he got presents from this particular people and it was very inspiring.
My christmas has definitely been about enjoying the time with my family.
Regardless of how much time we had left, or where we've been the whole year, or what we've been doing, it's about coming back to where you came from and remembering the things you have done for other people old and new and share it with your family.
It's about celebrating the achievements you've achieved with the ones who've been there pushing you to where you are now and giving them a happy christmas just as much as they hoped the same thing from you.
It's about forgetting what you want and give your loved ones what they wished instead.
It's about loving your loved ones and be loved in return, and be thankful -if you haven't for the whole year.
..And family doesn't really mean your real moms and dads. Some kids are not as fortunate as me to have a great family, be it the people who loved you. That's family.
Have a Merry Christmas friends!
Love,
Jacqkie.
