This was written December 25, 2019. I was not able to update
my blog that time. My rhinitis triggered.
I should have posted this earlier
today, but I spent my morning and afternoon sleeping (and eating as well). I
just need rejuvenation. After the noche Buena, I listened to many songs on
YouTube. It is my way to lull myself to sleep. However, it did not put me to
sleep early. I stopped listening at 2 AM. I only had three hours of sleep as I
heard my sister typing something on her laptop.
I went back to my bed at 8:00 and
woke up 9:20 in the morning. I washed the utensils to reheat spaghetti
(national food during noche Buena). That served as my lunch. I slept again at 2 PM. At four PM, I woke up
and had the enthusiasm to write for my blog.
In this post, I want to share the
gifts I received this Christmas. Let us be honest. We anticipated this part in
celebrating this season especially if you participated in draw lots. This year,
I joined three draw lots of three classes in the senior high school for I am
not a class adviser. We also had our draw lots of teachers. And, I joined the
draw lots of the young people in our church. Actually, I should not be part of
that group because of my age. However, my name was included in the young
adults. Well, it is favorable for me. Haha. I am not yet ready to be called “adult”.
Haha.
This year, I received two shirts,
bond paper, towels from school. I am happy with those stuff especially the bond
paper. My request to those who drew my name that I prefer to receive school
supplies. Whatever people give, it is all right for me. My problem on the shirts
is the size does not fit me. I am planning to give the one shirt to my relative
for it to be utilized. I hope that the person who gave it to me will understand
this process.
This sounds bias, but the best I
had this year is from the church. I was not able to get it personally as I
accompanied my mother going home. My sister gave it to me. It was beautifully
wrapped. My name was written, but the name of the giver was missing. The
mystery got intensified. When I opened
it, I was really surprised. Inside of the bag were a devotion book and a watch.
I said to myself, “This is too much.” I immediately took a picture of the wonderful
gift and posted on Instagram. Few moments later, someone replied on my post. It
was my high school student before who thought of giving the stuff.
I am very grateful about the
gifts I received from joining draw lots and on unexpected times. I was also
surprised about my co- teacher who gave things to us during the year- end party
in our school, I received Bench Atlantis Body Spray and chocolates. I joked
that maybe I need to use the spray because I have a foul smell. We laughed out
loud about it. Receiving gifts unexpectedly is heart melting.
Thank you for the presents. Thank
you for spending your time, energy, and money for these things. May God bless
you more and your family.
To all, we must be thankful on
what we receive or even we do not receive anything. Having Christ in our life
is the greatest gift God gave to us. Let us put in our minds having this
holiday is not concentrating on gifts. Appreciate what we have and try to help
others who are needy. To my readers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
