My mom was grumbled about it after telling her that I am not staying until Christmas. And I know as parent, she (my mom) would certainly love to have all her children to be around spending time together at home celebrating Christmas.
As I am her daughter, I truly understand how she feels and how much I am feeling sorry for her, for not staying long enough until Christmas day. Well, it's all because of work... My job, actually!
Anyway, I had celebrated Christmas with my family last year. So meaning that, this year, this time, no Christmas holiday for me as I have to work during the festive season. It's like, we are taking turns. So if last year I had my holiday, then this year I need to work instead.
Eventually, my mom accepted although she feels a bit sad, and I could only say "sorry" to her again... and again...
During my this "short stay" at home, I helped her with all I could such as doing the housework, some shopping, decorating, preparing things and all before Christmas. Then next, the rest of the works will be carry on by my brother later on, as he will be coming back home 1 day before Christmas Eve. So, knowing my brother will be at home during this year Christmas with mom, makes me feel happy a bit and feel relief at the same time, at least...
Then, I don't know why suddenly, I remember about my dad who at one time, he would buy Christmas presents or gifts for us when we were still kids, years back ago. It's funny that these presents, we would place them under our Christmas tree in the living room. Then, we waited until New Year only to unwrapped them all. As a child, that was the most happy moment ever!
But now, things changed. I think, I am too old to receive a present or gift, right? But if I am to received one, I think I still feel happy too but not as like the happier feeling I had when I was still a child years ago.
Anyway, please don't get me wrong because I learned that the most precious gift above all for everyone during Christmas is love. There is this one true love more than every presents and gifts that being placed under the Christmas tree itself.
Hence, no matter how the situations or the environments around you that you and I might be going through during the festive season, I only knew I have received my only one precious Christmas gift that is Jesus.
Jesus is the love. And, this world needs love!
