During the years of when I was still living with my parents and siblings, I will see to it that I will put Christmas decorations as early as possible. Mostly, selling for holiday decorations will start by June of every year. The start of the Christmas spirit will be the 1st of September (BER months). Before anything else, I will see to it that I will put up first the small round table at the corner of where I will put my Christmas decorations. After that, I will take out the red Christmas tree with its lights. Then, I will check if the Christmas functioned well. If I can see some bulbs that will not lit, I will do my best to replace it so that the tree for Christmas will be of use fully in a safety way.

And the next thing that I will do for them was to visit the bathroom since this was one of the sacred places for my family. I made sure that the free standing towel rack was still functioning for everyone else. Then I will do a thorough bathroom cleaning which will be followed by the general cleaning of the whole house. In this way, I will make Christmas not just merrily for everyone else but also for my family’s own dwelling.

I miss my parents and siblings a lot. And hope to see them in the coming years whenever funds will come for my own family to travel back home so that they all can see my two kids and my husband.
