Christmas, the festive season

Bonjour everyone! This year's christmas, to me, is a special one. Why special? Cos, i've finally understood the meaning of this special day, and not taking it for granted. I used to think that christmas is some day whereby i just receive presents, not knowing the actual meaning of it. I started to think more now, into this special day. "Why do we buy gifts for our family and friends? Why do people have to go churches and pray? Why is christmas related to turkey?" and so on. Till now, i've not found all the answers. More importantly, I've finally realised that its to make us treasure people around us, be it family or our friends. When i was buying presents, thinking about what to buy really made me think of the past, how fortunate i was and yet i took many for granted. When you give someone a present, you would feel happy when you see someone else happy. When you receive a present, you would feel happy that there are people who care for you. People goes to church, to thank god for protecting they themselves and their loved ones. While some pray for the safety for those not around with them. Alright, i still don't know why we have to eat turkey when we celebrate christmas...
I seriously appreciate all the gifts I've received this christmas. Thank you so much!
During occasions such as christmas or new year, we would receive many many smses or emails from our friends, all the well wishes and so on. It feels real good receiving such them, and again, you know that there are people out there who wants to wish you. I believe, that there are many friends out there, who seriously receive such messages from you.
Didn't go out this christmas, stayed at home watched television and used the computer. Had great feast, enjoyed delicacy prepared by my mum or bought from somewhere else. The steak and chicken was so delicious... yum yumm...
Shall go off now and enjoy your holiday everyone! Au revoir.
