I love giving presents and for the people I love, it has to be very well thought of. Setting foot in the mall to shop for gifts is something I have been hoping to do but then again, is this something I even want to do together with other hurried Christmas shoppers? I usually patronize my own by giving out Ma’s pastries as my presents. This year, I’m thinking of giving my own personalized designer cookies. I will definitely make time for this and with December 24 being the last banking day of the year, I need to squeeze in my gifts with all the incoming orders.
December is also a celebration month for most members of my family. Four out of six celebrate their birthdays on this month. Ma’s birthday is on the 2nd, Pa on the 22nd, Marissa on the 24th and I on the 31st. It can be quite lonely that Marissa and Koc are not around and it’ll be our 2nd Christmas with the two of them abroad. I place great importance on my family time and each of their birthdays has to be celebrated.
I haven’t thought of how I’ll celebrate my birthday this year. I usually have group dinners at home or outside for several years now. However, things have changed the past years. I prefer my celebration to be quiet and really intimate with only a few close friends singing Happy Birthday with me. I see having a pre-birthday dinner at a restaurant I haven’t tried. Nothing fancy. No violins. There’s good food. Great ambience and a lot of laughter. Just me sharing stories with very good friends and my family. Thinking about this really warms my heart.
