Merry Christmas?

the christmas carnival at the waterfront

eight more days of work and it will be christmas! but why don't i feel christmas-y? even our gorgeous christmas tree failed to brighten my spirit. perhaps i am too tired and stressed yet to celebrate. i haven't regained my strength after our hospital stay last week. and i am broke. super broke. i know christmas shouldn't be equated with the material things we give and receive but i have always loved to buy stuff and presents for friends and family that now that i don't have enough moolah to give everyone gifts, i feel bad. add to the fact that i haven't even started on my mailing list! boo hoo.

i should get out of this rut soon. i have more than a hundred reasons to be thankful and to celebrate this december 25. first and foremost would have to be my children's fast recovery from their illness. so yes, broke or not, tired or not, i have to make it a merry christmas. if not for me, but for my not-so little and little one who'll be celebrating the holidays with me. :)

@ Mai: bitaw mai, especially when i learned how lucky we are to receive some things that others unfortunately don't have because of the crisis. bahala ng broke, just as long as the kids have milk to drink. hehe.
