This Christmas..

         This Christmas was different, I dont know if its because I'm getting older or just because this is my 1st Christmas that none of my family members are here. I guess its a grown up thing when Christmas isnt about gift anymore, for me it has a whole new meaning, I guess its because now I have Kiera.

          I remember when i was small I would start our Christmas celebration with a song number, I would do a whole set of songs like Twinkle Twinkle, A whole new world, B.I.N.G.O, I'll be there, and other song infront of friends and family, i would be the center of attraction the star of the show ahhaa no wonder naging artista ako, but I'm really shy, akala nga nila magiging singer ako, I sang nonstop as a kid. Anyway, when we would wake up on Christmas, the cookies, carrots and milk would be bawas na, sabi ng Dad ko Santa and his reindeers ate it, that he left a small snack for him dahil pagod daw si santa kakahatid ng gift to little good boys and girls, then we would first check our stockings that were hung over the fireplace and see what small goodies we got. After that we would have trash bags full of gifts that came from Mom,Dad anf of course santa, what a nice feeling that we believed in Santa before noh? That if we were really good all year we would get what we wanted. Sana pag matanda tayo ganun din noh? But its all different now, now I hope I can provide the same excitement for my little girl.

       
         Most the time I would get gifts from my Mom and Dad, this year I got nothing hahahaha Dati I would feel bad, na no one remembered me, or they would say "sayo na lahat kaya di na kita bigayan" minsan its the thought that matters kasi diba? But now i realize its not about gifts its about the celebration od something bigger. 

      My Mom, Dad and brother are all in the Unites States so most the gifts are for Kiera this year.. and thats fine. Ganun pala un noh, when u have a child, when someone gives a gift to your child you are overjoyed as well. As in im soo happt when someone gets something for my little one, so thoughtful and nice of them. I was soo excited for her to open her gifts, especially when she loves ripping the gift wrappers hahaha you can see her excitement and she knows its for her, what a wonderful feeling that she's happy, ako halos maiyak ako sa reactions niya. Super mommy vibes na ba ako? haha But you knoe what, wala man ako na receive this year, I think my best gift I received, not only for Christmas, but for the whole year and years to come is my #LittleMam Kiera. Walang makakapantay sa regalong yun, a little bundle of love for life.


       BE KIND,
