My Christmas Celebration 2010

Hey! How's your holiday so far? Are you spending every second well? You know what, God is fair. He gave us all 24 hours to use. It now depends on how we spend it. How's your Christmas holiday so far?

Unlike the past few years, once the "ber" months start, I can feel a bit of Christmas already. It's entirely different this year. I only felt Christmas on the Christmas eve dinner where we usually gather with relatives. Nevertheless, I enjoyed every moment of it. Went to 2 sides of the family -- father side and mother side. In between, we attended a Christmas Candle Light service at a Christian church.

No Traffic on Christmas Eve

We started attending the Candle Light service last year and the feeling was so wonderful, that we decided to attend it from that year on. Besides, Christmas is about "Christ", right? It's just very commercialized right now that we attribute Christmas to gifts, parties and holidays. Admit it, you'd personally think that Christmas won't be the same without those 3 but bear in mind that Christmas won't be possible without Christ.

This year was one of the best years ever. So many things happened, bountiful blessings received. Counting my blessings, it's increasing year by year and I would like to take this opportunity to thank God for them. A year of many firsts indeed. Traveled the most this year in and out of the country -- first time to Albay, Boracay, Batanes, Bicol, Camarines Sur, Donsol etc! Aside from those, God blessed me with other generous gifts too!

One of the many cool gifts I got! :)

Even though I only felt Christmas on Christmas eve, I also chose and decided to make it different this year. For me, happiness is a choice. Being positive is up to you as being negative is also. Only a few hours left before Christmas 2010 ends but I hope that you let the positivity in you linger longer until the next holiday season.

Merry Christmas to you and God bless!
