How do you celebrate holidays?

View all responses

If I recall back correctly, the last time I celebrated holidays with pomp and gaiety was some 15 to 18 years back. When all my family members come home together to celebrate Christmas. We don’t wear new dresses like our friends nor have money, yet we were contented. We had the love and care from our parents. We don’t have many friends yet we were friends to each other inseparable in fact. We were satisfied with the 10 or 20 rs sinju (local food- made from mixed vegetables and fermented fish). Gone were the days where we look forward for the small prices we got from games we played during the Christmas celebration. The prizes that we’d received from the bible exam we participated. It’s been years now to be back home altogether as we (4 siblings) are home very rarely.
