Today's the sixth of December. Nothing really excites me today because this day is just the same as those ordinary days that have passed. But as I think about it deeper, something feels familiar. The cold breeze rings a thousand of bells inside me. The past memories made in those previous Decembers are making my pounding heart pound a little faster. Everything's beginning to look a lot like Christmas again!
I still remember back when I was still one of those kids that carols from 6 pm to 7. Honestly, I think those where one of the most beautiful part of being a kid. The feeling of receiving coins after singing multiple Christmas songs still makes me smile. And as I reminisce those moments, I cry. I get sad. It's as if I'm surrounded by the bittersweet smell of an alcohol. I get sad because I am growing up. The things that excites me the most may also turn into things that bore me. I liked barbie dolls before, and now playing with them seems so childish to me already. I liked playing outside, but now that I am a young adult already, I now think that still playing around will only make me look like an immature kid. You see, everything changes as a person grows up.
However, something will always stay. The feeling of unwrapping those surprises, the feeling of turning on the colorful lights at night, the feeling of receiving red envelopes, the feeling of singing along with aunties, and the feeling of sitting around a long table full of well-cooked foods make me feel alive. Those feelings attacking me at once is like a thousand of stars shining in front of me. Those feelings shout something at me, telling me that I am home. And at this moment, I embrace and treasure the moments that are made, being made, and are about to be made, whether recorded, taken a picture of, posted online, or not. Christmas is fastly on its way, and I think the most beautiful way to spend it is to give. Giving, togetherness, love, and celebrating the birth of Jesus are the magical spirits that brings life and joy to this season. Spread nothing but positivity, happiness, and love to one another as it will come back to you in no notice. Do everything that you wish to do as long as it makes you happy because it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
