| Bringin' On The Ber Months |
It's that time of the year again. The time I associate mostly with Christmas - THE Holiday I always look forward to, and THE Holiday which most gives me mixed feelings of excitement and disappointment.
When I was younger, it meant a family reunion with presentations, a trip to Unimart on 24 December, a dish of Vegemeat and a certain chili sauce, and lots and lots of gifts. I miss those times when my older sisters and cousins (then still teenagers) would be made to dance, and me and my brother would mix and jump in anyway, and emcee-ing was passed on from the eldest cousins to the younger ones.
Times have changed since then and as I grew older (AS IF I am that much older, but see, times do change quickly!), the 10 pm - 3 am reunions gave way to an 11 pm - 1.30 am noche buena and gift giving to the younger generation. Emcees were assigned on the spot, and only after much cajoling.
So for a long time, I have felt a sense of depression before, during and after this period. People are so busy that Christmas seems nothing more than another appointment squeezed in between work, holiday leaves, this and that gathering, etc. Shopping for gifts are always done last minute, and delegated between us sisters. Its probably also because with Christmas comes my birthday, then the New Year shortly after, and I always feel pressured growing a year older and making that infamous New Year's Resolution.
Oh well, life is too short, and wasting moments like this with only half a smile doesn't do it justice. I promise this time around, I'll try to keep the jolly cheer alive. Ho! Ho! Ho! =P |
