The best CHRISTMAS for me

Santa in the Christmas Parade
Anyone could easily say that our Christmas is the most poor of what they've heard. But to me,every Christmas must be cherished and celebrated whether in a grand way or in a not-so-grand way.
Last Christmas, our only Noche Buena was monay, a bread and sotanghon... no cakes, no salads and definitely no Roasted Pig.
But I didn't mind.
The warmth of the Christmas air was everywhere and I have heard every Christmas song that I've known and the best is being with my family to exchange gifts.
I would really love the sight of a Christmas tree... flowing with gifts... Christmas stockings.... full of those scrumptious candies... everything..
Sorry if anyone did not sense my point,but the only thing that I could say is....
CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT GIVING and Love....
Advanced "Merry Christmas" to all!!!
Rose from IWoW: Thank you Gianinna for your wonderful Christmas story. I can certainly see your point. Christmas is about family and friends, spending special time together and making great memories.
I think sometimes the poorer a person is, the more they'll work at making Christmas extra special for those around them. That creates "feel good" memories that last a lifetime.
The holiday isn't about how many presents you get or all the glitter, but about people and creating special memories from a place of love.
(p.s. Sorry, but I had to replace the photos you submitted as I could tell that they weren't ones that you had taken yourself. Since I didn't know where they had come from, I've replaced them with a Christmas photo that is royalty-free to use.)
