Always better to be at home with family. My grandparents are visiting from Cebu. Everyone's coming home to Metro Manila. The families will be complete again.
It's been really sad each year for me ever since I realized everyone is really busy with their own lives as in moving out, moving far away, or basically, everyone going their separate way.
Christmas used to be my favorite season but as the years go by, it becomes bittersweet because it's the ONLY time of the year we get together with no limitations. I wish every day could still be like the Christmas season but sadly everyone is growing old and that's just how life is - change is the only thing constant.
@ger_m awww.. thanks for sharing this very real-emotions dear :) Yes indeed as we grow old, people around us also move on with their lives. Well apart from Christmas, CHANGE happens, people come and go. But hey, you know what they say, "distance makes the heart grow fonder" + they always come back, and that is something to be grateful for :)
Hope you have a very memorable celebration to last the whole year round! xoxo
@kshitij_product oh dearie, hope your knee is healing well, and hope your tix and accommodation are refundable or can be rescheduled :)
I love long walks though. But as age catch up I think 10km is max for me hehe!
Cheers for a festive celebration with fam!
Spend Christmas at home and New year at my parents' house. We haven't been able to spend holidays in my hometown due to the pandemic so we're doing it now. :)
For the holidays, I’d love to spend them in a cozy mountain cabin or a quiet lakeside retreat. There’s something magical about escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, unplugging, and just enjoying nature. I’d spend the time hiking, reading by the fire, and cooking a big holiday meal with close friends or family. I think being surrounded by peaceful scenery gives you a chance to really unwind, reflect on the year, and appreciate the little things. Plus, it feels extra special to celebrate the season away from the usual distractions!
