Dear space, this time it ain't about a post of rants. Instead, it's something joyous. Christmas is approaching in another 3 days and this year, I feel different. Well, spiritually hehe. My family hasn't really celebrated Christmas before in all my years of growing up because no one gives a hoot. Or prolly my dad thinks that 'Christmas is a christian kinda thing. Not for us buddhist.' Mm, of course while growing up i have no qualms about it because it didn't rly affect me except for the decorations in town, Christmas parties/gift exchange and etc. If not, there was nothing.

It all started when last year when I started poly. It felt strange that my friends started giving me Christmas presents (Free will). & all that was in my mind was 'Do I have to reciprocate?' But the case was I really forgotten the real meaning behind all these. Christmas is a season of sharing. Who cares if one reciprocates? It comes from the bottom of the heart.

This year, I started with something a little different. I decided to bake. Something of sincerity. Something that is adequate and need not be sufficient. To me, something made with love beats all others that are being bought by money. Not that i don't like things that are bought but really, it is the time, love, and sincerity all put tgr to do that 'something' that matters. It brings warmth. So, I've decided to bake muffins, brownies, and macarons. It may seem easy but srsly, I tried & tried & tried with so much effort to be able to achieve the 'perfect' macarons. Not that I'm complaning but even my parents said that they haven't seen me being so persistent about something for so long. (Back of my mind: Friends) Yes, I really want my friends to try them. It makes me happy!

This happiness comes deep from my heart and am really joyful to hear that they enjoy them and want more. Thankful for everyone around me and those who affected positively. Thank you and have a great Christmas & a happy new year! I'll be back with more joyful posts (I hope) ;) wink wink
