Christmas is always a FAMILY event for me, but over the recent years that passed since I left home in 2003 to chase my dreams, I have been missing to spend this with them. When I was younger, I remember Christmas is always the time of the year when our huge clan reunite. I am now missing the sound of my cousins breezing through our main door to spend the festivities with us. I miss the smell of baking and cooking in the kitchen while Dad and my uncles,who are mostly men from the military, would sit about the patio to talk endlessly about their adventures over liquor & smokes, whilst Mom and her sisters would fret over how spaghetti should be prepared. I miss sneaking out the back door with my cousins to climb up the rooftop so we can lie down, joke around, tell tales, count the stars until our parents would call for us to have the Noche Buena dinner. I miss the fireworks and gift giving!
To get over my sadness, I sat down and started opening the gifts I got from friends and random people... THANK YOU!
