Season's Greetings...

Christmas is over.

And I'm filled with nostalgia...Christmas times always bring vivid memories.

I was in a convent school so christmas festivities usually went over-the-board. The decorations... the mass.... the tableau... the PARTY. Yup. The party, even though I was in an all girls school and we were pretty disciplined... we had a rocking party. We were like little party animals in training. Complete with a DJ and a Jam session... it was incredibly great. Yup, all of the gift exchanging and Secret Santa's and everything... It was a quite something.

And ever since I've left school... Christmas' just don't feel the same. No Mazzapans(I don't know how you spell 'at) , no decorating a christmas tree, no endless carolling. Just a dragging party full of insipid junkies who can't think beyond boozing and passing-out.

I feel like when I left the school, the innocence of Christmas was lost with it. To top it off my christian neighbour recently moved out... leaving what feels like a deep void.

But even so, christmas is still full of charm for me. I know when you grow up, it's obvious you stop believing in things like Santa or the North Pole... but I still believe that christmas brings about many miracles.

Miracle No. 1 ---> My parents did not have one solid fight on this Christmas, which is totally unlike them and against our tradition of getting into ugly and unforgettable fights on an important occasion...

Miracle No. 2 ---> I'm finally getting a new Mp3 player which I didn't think I would get considering that for the past two years my mum's been saying, "I'm getting you the player for your next birthday honey."

Miracle No. 3 ---> I'm having grrreat hair,face,everything days... Just awesome.

Miracle No. 4 ---> I'm keeping so busy which means I spend less time at home which means I have less arguments with my dad which means I'm less depressed. It's not as disheartening as it sounds. But nonetheless... I'd rather avoid it right?

Miracle No. 5 ---> Christmas is gone but I don't feel hopeless...

And even though to most people my idea of a miracle wouldn't qualify as plausible... to each his own... and here's wishing... I have these little miracles all year round, Cheers!
