A Christmas weekend

Out of all the festivals we have around the world, Christmas is the one I love the most. Ever since I was a child, I've always loved Christmas. Everything about the season is enough for one to love it.

When I was still a child, I usually see the way our house looks during Christmas. My siblings would make decorations to make the house and everywhere look colorful and fascinating

They did this for years, till they grew up and found nothing special in the decorations again. I could remember vividly that year, we had just a few days to Christmas and my siblings hadn't decorated the house.

I asked them why, they said whats the essence of the decorations. I disagreed with them and decided to make the decorations myself since I was no longer a child.

I brought out the Christmas tree, ornaments, Christmas lights, and Christmas cards from the store. decorated the house in a way my siblings have never done before.

I hung the ornaments on the Christmas tree. Surrounded the tree with some Christmas lights, placed the Christmas cards in a well-designed way. Everyone that saw the decorations commended me for making a nice decoration

Since then, I've been the one making the Christmas decorations, because my decorations are top-notch. Why am I saying all these?
I just want you to know the secret behind my beautiful decorations is the Christmas season. I'm always happy.

Whenever we're close to Christmas, the joy is always there.

Things that makes Christmas special

★The Red and green color.

A beautiful thing about Christmas is its color. Christmas is known for green and red color.

The Christmas tree is green.

Santa's cloth is made with Red and white,

The combination of the two colors (Red and Green) makes the season perfect. All over the world, the Christmas season is always colorful.

Even the colors alone, without Christmas songs and others, will tell you that it's Christmas already.

★The Christmas lights

Christmas lights are always attractive. They make the beauty of a place show. Though the lights are being used even in non-Christmas

periods and it beautifies the place. But during Christmas, it is always rampant, which makes it special

The beauty shows in the afternoon, but at night the beauty Glows more. Every mall, house, companies will be shining bright with

Christmas light

★The wonderful songs

Another beautiful thing about Christmas is the wonderful songs

Hark the heralds,

Silent nights,

Jingle bells.

Christmas songs are the most melodious. The rhythm and instruments with the lyncs of the songs are always spectacular. During

Christmas, we would always hear the Jingle bell sounds being played in every part of the street. In churches, in malls and shops, even in houses

The songs aren't just ordinary songs, they are songs that will fill your heart. If you have something bothering you in your mind, the songs

will wipe it away.

★The knockouts and fireworks

I wasted a lot of money on fire trackers. Back then we would gather at night to fire knockouts. Buy bangers and knockouts with our

pocket money Though the police were against us using bangers, still we fire them every year.

My parents tried to stop me from firing knockouts. Then I improvised and make one myself. I made my own knockout with the head of a spark plug, matches, and nails. So far it sounded like bangers, then I'm satisfied.

I stopped wasting money on knockouts a long time ago. We've left that for the new generation. Even I no longer see children lighting

knockouts. Probably because we their brothers/sisters aren't engaging in it again or because of the police

**★How I spent my Weekend **

So, to how I spent my weekend which is the Christmas eve and Christmas day.

So here I am , the most wonderful time of the year, a time when I usually spend with my dear family and loved one enjoying the peace and love that comes with familism, volunteering and celebrating togetherness.

Today, we had a huge dinner at our family place with all the relatives. After which I spent some time making a delicious dinner, watching some action movie on Netflix.

It is a relaxing weekend away from everything else and it felt amazing!

Merry Christmas everyone ⛄🎄🎄⛄🎄🎄
