Christmas is giving
Oh dear. This journal is looking so absolutely sad. Just two journal entries in the most event-filled month of the year? This would either mean that a) I am too busy to write anything or b) I have nothing to write because I have no life (and no one reads this anyway).
There are only two more days till Christmas. Woah. I used to feel like I'm too old to get excited for Christmas. But now, I actually feel kinda giddy. I want it to be Christmas morning because I want my family to open the gifts I got them with my own money. It feels awesome that I can actually give them something. So awesome. It may be a cliche, but it really is better to give than to receive.
My family and I just got back from our church where we gave noche buena packages to the less fortunate in our community. The week before, some members went caroling around the community. But instead of asking for aguinaldo, the carolers gave them tickets to the church event where we would give them noche buena packages, free food, and a small program for free. It felt good to be an instrument of blessing for others.
What is even more awesome is the fact that it was God who made everything possible. From the packages we handed out to the people who came, it was all His doing. He brought them all there to our church. God is so awesome.
I feel like this is the most fulfilling Christmas I've ever had in a long time. Happy Birthday Jesus!
