Jingle Bell Rock

I can feel the cool wind against my skin. I can see lights flashing on and off. I can hear the sweet voices of children caroling and "Jingle Bell Rock" playing on the radio. I can smell the scent of pines hanging in the air. It's Christmas time.

Years ago, Christmas for me is hanging socks on the window, waitinh for Santa Claus until I fall asleep and waking up with a grin on my face knowing that Santa dropped a gift on my sock.

Years after, I haven't discovered yet the real meaning of Christmas. But I found out that there's really NO SANTA CLAUS. It was just my parents and grandparents who we're putting 100 peso bills on my sock every other day.(hahahahahaha!)

Now, I know the real meaning of Christmas by heart. Christmas is NOT about the competition on who's house has the prettiest decoration, who's family prepared the most delicious food or who received more gifts. The true meaning of Christmas is sharing what we have to our less fortunate brothers and sisters.

One of our Christmas traditions is attending "Misa de Gallo" before Christmas. This just proves that Christmas is the time when all people come together to worship Jesus Christ.
