The Christmas Jams

Whenever i pass by the shop where it made me feel like Christmas is not just about the gifts we recieve from our relatives and love ones, clothes worn just for the purpose of Christmas pictures, or the decorative homes where the room lights up with joy. There is something that makes christmas more special than it already is. The birth of jesus is one, we celebrate for the purpose that Our Christ is birthed to bring the purpose of becoming a foundation of all but there's more than just what the weather is becoming more like the coldest season ever. Because at every December feels like it's the warmest regards the year has ever symbolized of love, togetherness, and hope--where our hearts celebrates even when the rest of the year was something they fear to bring up at every Reunion.

It's where we know that Christmas light up a new furning fire, replace the old one that rusted before ending what has been. Leaving the year would weigh down a million regrets, mistakes, wrong decisions. What makes us human is our conscience, our hope that stands at the center of our soul and these occasions are not just occasions but to us, it's where we can express our deepest gratitudes. Whenever i hear the bells of the simbang gabi, the decorations put together creatively in front of every city, christmas dongs played at every store i go, the nutcrackers i fabor so much but they only appear during Christmas, the Christmas tree that saw everything, gifts that probably held thoughts of "what should i get her/him?", it comes to me like a realization that this is not just a celebration but in this month, we make the most of it. We know that no one will look st you wierdly if you do something grand for yourself even just once, or that your house is almost crashing with electricity bills, or that the food is too much because it's Christmas.

The real purpose is that we are together. That you have a companion to celebrate before the year ends in a jiffy. It doesn't matter as long as you have more than just yourself to say Merry Christmas. What's the
thrill, the joy you feel when you are alone and lonely? The heart always longs for companion and that's the essence of chrismas.

And maybe that is why Christmas feels different every year—because it meets us where we are. Whether we come carrying joy or silent sadness, it welcomes us the same. It reminds us that as long as we choose to open our hearts, to sit beside someone, to share a moment no matter how simple, Christmas will always find a way to feel like home.
