Christmas

Christmas is a time of joy, love, and togetherness. It is a holiday that brings families and friends together to celebrate and create lasting memories. For many, Christmas is a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the future.

One Christmas that stands out in my memory is the year I was late for lunch. Every year, the family feasting began at midday at my Auntie Marion's. I had always taken this tradition for granted until that fateful day. I hadn't appreciated what would happen if I missed the deadline.

The moment I arrived, the aroma of delicious food filled the air, and the laughter and chatter of loved ones echoed through the house. As I walked into the dining room, I could see the disappointment in my family's eyes. I had let them down, and I realized the importance of being present and punctual during the holiday season.

That Christmas taught me a valuable lesson about the significance of time and family. It reminded me to cherish every moment and to prioritize the people who mean the most to me. Christmas is not just about the presents or the food; it is about the love and connection we share with one another.

As I sat down to enjoy the belated feast, I felt a renewed sense of gratitude and appreciation. I vowed never to take the time I have with my loved ones for granted again. Christmas will forever hold a special place in my heart, reminding me of the importance of being present and making memories with those who matter most.
