New year, new beginning

In addition to my Christmas blog, Theres nothing much that really happened on my new year Eve. Me and my family started to buy some groceries and foods that will be needed for our meja notche. We made a prosperity bowl, cooked many pastries and shared our time bonding together with our loved ones. It was very noisy outside, a lot of people did a lot of things while the new year was near. My family and I started to take some pictures and waited till the time hit 12:00am. After that we played several games and did traditional things such as making a lots noises with the vehicles, lighting up the fireworks and picking up coins on the floor. This year I have a lot of plans and I promise to myself that I will do better from the past years that have gone by.

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY

 This Christmas holiday was unlike any other I've experienced. It wasn't just about the delicious foods and colorful lights that made it special, it was the unexpected joy of reconnecting with your loved ones and experiencing giving and receiving gifts.

This holiday became a story of family, blessings, and a little bit of childhood excitement.

The most unforgettable moment of this Christmas holiday was when my mother came back home. After being away for so many years, her return felt like a dream come true. The moment we saw her, I felt a rush of emotions—happiness and relief. Seeing her beautiful smile and hearing her lovely voice again made everything feel right. We spent many hours catching up,

sharing stories, and laughing like we used to be. Her presence made this Christmas the best one I've had in a long time.Another special part of this holiday was the generosity of my tita, Tito, ninang, ninong. They each gave me money. Instead of just saving it, I decided to treat myself to a few things I had wanted for a long time. I bought new clothes and bicycle parts, something that I'd been dreaming about for months. Being able to buy these things made me feel gratefut. It's not just about the gifts but for the thoughtfulness of the people who care about me.

As the holiday came to an end , I took a moment to reflect on everything. My mothers return, the kindness of my relatives, and the simple joys of the season reminded me how blessed and I truly am. It wasn't just the material gifts that made this

Christmas special, it was the love and connection that came with it. This Christmas holiday will always hold a special place in my heart. It was a time of gratitude and joy, filled with moments I will cherish forever.
