it was almost 4: 05am when i finally got my sleep. i fell into deep slumber not because im sleepy. it was because i already forced myself to fall asleep keeping my eyes close even i wanted to stay awake the whole morning of christmas. my mind is reminding me that im tired but my fragile body doesn't feel anything at all. "you rest pls..." my mind is having difficulty transmitting and decoding that impulse that's why i was awake even my body is about to collapsed already.
I love this day. It may not be very important to some people but for most of us, this is the day that we've all been waiting for. it maybe just an ordinary day for some, a usual day that nothing so special about. but for me and for those millions of believers of Christ, "It's a day like no other."
But what is so different about christmas day?
It is special because it's Our Lord's day. Peace and calmness are felt during christmas morning when family celebrates together... when total strangers remove the line of unfamiliarity and acts as if everyone around is a member of a household under one roof...when people tend to smile rather than frown...when enemies forget and forgive and in a certain way they become friends...when people find time to reach out to their loved ones no matter how busy they are...but what is so great about christmas day is that there is a sense of unity among us inspite of the differences we have regardless of race and age. Like Fr. Michael used to tell us, we've waited long enough for this day but it passes very quickly, just in a snap of our fingers its gone. but... but its all worth it. every effort is paid off, every second of waiting is all worth it. Merry Christmas to ALL!
