65 days to go!
And suddenly it is Christmas already!
Screw the hanging Amihan and the difficulty it gives me getting up in the morning, let alone in taking a shower. What I’m elated though is, obviously, definitely not the breeze but the air itself.
It smells like Christmas, looks like it, sounds like it. Sigh. Okay it feels like it too, nevermind the chills it gives me in the mornings.
Yesterday I was killing time in Eastwood and realized that the first ever time I was in that area was three Christmases ago. Imagine that! Yesterday was nowhere near the breezy nighttime and Christmas lights had yet to be lit but the sound of Mariah Carey’s "All I Want For Christmas Is You" was all over.
Now for my insatiable love for music is the definite inclusion of the plan of finding on YouTube all the Christmas songs I could find just to start taking in the festive mood. I’ve had enough of gut-wrenching love songs. Haha.
Definitely can’t wait also to drive through the streets of Makati, especially in Ayala, and relive how I’ve always felt, all the years of my life, during Christmas, with or without problems. The question of having a "working" car has definitely become irrelevant here especially now that nothing can ruin my mood. Hehe.
But how exactly do I really feel during this time of the year? I think it’s best to put it in the context of change. It’s true that the only constant thing is change. For an entire year, one may find a new job, one may lose a loved one, one may go bankrupt, one may win the lottery. Then again, often overlooked is that in the 365 days from Christmas last year to Christmas this year, isn’t that we always end up with, yes, Christmas, therefore making it the second constant thing in this lifetime?
64 days, three hours and 25 minutes to go to be exact. I’d love to say it for the first time in this blog. Happy Christmas everyone!
(Where’s that Christmas list? I just have one wish for deal ‘ol Santa. I think I’ve been nice enough for this one. Hehe.)
